Here is a healed picture from a post earlier.

First I want to thank everybody who attended the Uglar opening reception, and for those not able the exhibition will still be up until July.  It was really overwhelming to see the people who came out to support original art and fresh ideas.  I have now put up the in-progress section and will try to update it as best as possible.  If you do not see more of certain types of art that you want to see, make sure you send me a comment.  As always peace to all.

Japan was great as always.  Learned allot from Miyazo, which was the reason for the whole trip.(make sure you check out his link)  Also payed more attention to the details in the scenery  this year.  The shrines and temples were even more amazing when you slow down and look at the craftsmanship that has shaped many tattoos.  In Kyoto we went to the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji), and then the “silver” temple (Ginkakuji).  In Osaka we went to Kaiyukan aquarium and book shopping.  Must say thanks to the crew at Three Tides for the hospitality, and of course to Miyazo for the art and knowledge he passed down…..

Just finished this Hannya  painting and have many more paintings coming.  I believe the Hannya will be in a show called New Beginnings hosted by Inkfatuation, a benefit for children with cancer.  Also will be thinning out my collection of personal artwork, so anybody interested please send an email to view available pieces.  Finally in trying to keep up with the times and numerous requests we have added a paypal section to the site.  This feature is there only for those we know and apologize to those that we don’t, but we are a private studio and are not open to the public… Thanks to all for the support and check in soon
