Home, again!

 Well IM back from my trip out west. As some of ya may know I went out west to Guest spot at both Hart & Huntington, at the Hard Rock Casino, in Las Vegas, and than Out at Obie Hughes SpeakEasy tattoo, in Ontario CA.  It was a blast tattooing my ass off, and even doing a couple of Seminars to kick off my stay at both locals.

 I must admit that my time spent on the road is amazing! I never would have guessed that I'd meet so many people all round the globe. My only regret is that, there just that, All around the globe. Its a bummer to have to travel so very far to hang out with friends. But I guess if you can make the time, and have the ability, than there's definitely worse things. 

 

* Jime', Johnny, Obie, Me, and Worm. At SpeakEasy tattoo in Ontario CA.

  Like I said I started with flying to Las Vegas, hanging with Jime' & his lovely Family. Than a quick Jaunt cross the desert to Obie's. One little seminar that evening, and I was tattooing all the next day. I must thank Johnny, and his Fantastic wife for putting Jime' and I up for the evening. They have a wonderful new pad, and are fantastic hosts. My seminar was very well attended, and a lot of fun.  Met some real talented tattooers, and good folks. 

  Unfortunately, my stay in CA was a short one. But as usual a great time. Can't wait to get back out there.

 The following morning Jime' and I were back on our way to Vegas. Again, my arrival was followed by a Seminar. This one again was well attended by artists from shops all around Las Vegas. 

 Shortly after the seminar I was back at H&H drawing my big ass off for the following days worth of appointments. Got to work on some fun stuff, so IM including a few of the sketches. Check out the gallery section for the final versions of a couple. 

Was kinda excited by the 1st sketch I did (which is the one I actually tattooed), That I felt the need to draw the second one (in pink). I let her pick which one she liked better, and I think she had nearly as much trouble as I did.

 Like I said, I really liked both of these, so who knows. Ya may see something else done with one, or both in the future. 

Next is this lil lady on another tattooist from Mario Barths, Starlight tattoo (also in Vegas). Even though I had a few choice words to say about his employers ink products, and other things, He still was pretty cool with getting tattooed by me.  He was supposed to come back the following day to get a Photo taken, but said he felt it was too bruised, and swollen to come down. "Joey Razors" strikes again I suppose. Hope too get some snap shots of this in the coming weeks.

  Well thats pretty much I got for now. My week out west was one of the best, and my biggest regret is that its behind me. Nut Februarys here, and as fate would have it, looks like I'll be headed down south for another visit with friends. So keep an eye peeled for more...
