Here’s the banner Bryce and i will have at the Seattle convention. The new shop name. Its a weird word we know. But any name for a tattoo shop usually sounds dumb, and we liked it. If you don’t know a Martlet is a swallow without any legs. People used to see them and thought they had no legs since they were so small and that they just kept on flying. Their inability to land came to represent a quest for knowledge, learning and adventure.

Now I’m gonna work on some flash for the Seattle convention. Since I’m in town for a little while I specifically spaced out appointments so I’d have time for some walk ups.  Also Ill have 3 different  series of 7 linoleum block prints on wood I did, once they’re gone they’re gone, and some small original paintings for sale. Come on by and see me either at the convention or after at Anchor Tattoo in Ballard.

Also don’t forget Bryce Oprandi will be sharing the booth and will have tattoos and artwork for sale. 
And Lastly if you want a great tattoo machine or tattoo ink, Brandyn Feldman will be with us in the booth with all that and who knows what else he’ll drag up with him.

Fun walkin recently. Cover-up of an old Thai tattoo with a cool old panther head and a dagger going through it. Poor little cat, no wonder it looks angry.

Lots of cars in southern California, and still its hard to find any worth looking at, that aren’t overdone or just trying to be like everyone else or whatnot. But sometimes you can find a good, or decent, angle if you look hard enough. Heres a couple photos I liked.

Some Polaroids I took at Hootenanny in July. Found them in my bag just now taking a break from the drive to seattle. Both bands were great. Never saw MCD before and can’t wait to see the utters again. Sound fest in Seattle the week after the tattoo convention. Can’t wait, so many good bands and friends to see.

V has some unemployment time while we move to hollywood and go to Seattle. So I finally gave in and tattooed her hands like she’s been asking for a while.

A photo I really like that I took of Ann Atomic performing Burlesque a few years ago at some bar in Seattle. I have all sorts of photos floating around, now in storage, I should do something with them.

Found some of my old photography when we were packing up. Here’s some bad pictures of some big 16×20 prints I made of my old friend Tiffany from a few years ago who helped get me going doing pinup photography by posing for me alot when I knew even less than I do now haha. I do miss having a darkroom and taking photos, have some plans to change that sometime in the future.

We get people from everywhere in the shop. I guess the week I did this, just a little bit ago, was Australian week. Fun Jensen tiger head on this guy who also had some really nice tattoos from Stevie Edge and some others I’m blanking on.
