I took time off painting this week to let the oil dry and to work on tattoo commissions. This one is for a patient, lovely Canadian who first contacted me well over a year ago, but was lost in the email abyss. She initially wanted something heavily biomechanical yet feminine. When I began to draw [...]

Inkdrops 022 – Heartless Crest Tattoo Commission
June 29th, 2011 · 6 Comments · Inkdrops
A few weeks ago I was asked to create a custom, detailed, feminine take on the Heartless symbol from the Kingdom Hearts video game (click here to see what the original looks like). I took inspiration from medieval etchings of crests for this project, so the research was fun, especially when I came across the [...]
Inkdrops 021 – Tattoo Commission: Spooky Mermaid
June 17th, 2011 · 8 Comments · Inkdrops
Just about done with a piece for a UK client, who asked for a spoooky mermaid. She’s going to reside on the right side of the client’s torso. This was fun to work on; I hadn’t drawn a mermaid –subject of countless childhood sketches– in ages. I wanted to create something a little different from [...]

Inkdrops 020 – Tattoo Commission: Tentacle Villainess
May 25th, 2011 · 8 Comments · Inkdrops
Just finished this up yesterday and am fairly pleased with it. A peek into my tattoo design process: it’s going on the client’s upper arm, so I requested a photo of the exact area and created a digital mockup before drawing anything – the idea here is that the piece will cover most of the [...]

As just announced over at Coilhouse, I have a piece in Travis Louie’s epic collaborative art show, The Ghost of Delilah and Other Stories. Here is a super-secret previous of mine and Travis’ collaboration, titled “Cosmic Dreams”. Travis is on a [...]

Inkdrops 010 – Coilhouse 05 Section Headers
July 2nd, 2010 · 7 Comments · Inkdrops
Coilhouse 05 will hit stores in just under two weeks, but signed copies with special inserts are already 3/4 gone from our web shop. You can see a comprehensive by-article assessment of the issue here. From the post: Zoetica imagined a blithe, enchanted world of dancing sheiks and courtesans when working on this issue’s Inform/Inspire/Infect [...]
Inkdrops 008 – Seekrit Project and Hawking Art in Twitter Auctions
April 19th, 2010 · 8 Comments · Inkdrops
Presenting some things I’ve been doing for your eyeballs! 1. A certain poster project took up most of last week. The art part actually done now, and it’s down to the design aspect of the beast, on which I’m hoping to collaborate with Courtney Riot, provided that designing Coilhouse issue 05 doesn’t drain her of [...]
