I realized that I have been neglecting my blog for waaaaay too long, and the machine pics here are old…
So here’s some new pictures of recent machines….
This is Stabby Stan, my most recent creation…
-and hey! I finally got an online store together!!!
The image here is a QTVR: grab it with your mouse to rotate the machine…
I’ve been messing with some new finishes lately, and I’ve come up with some pretty cool stuff…
So i’ve been slaving away (after the holidays and what-not) on a new batch of tattoo machines…
I’m calling this one Barnacle Bill….
UPDATED!! -with new photos of Bill…..
I’ve finished the last two…..
This one matches the big spider, and the last one I made into a jewelry box.
Second Kiss is a piece that was partially a reaction to some of the feedback I received for First Kiss.
Its also your typical love story: boy meets shark….
(this is an update of the little spiders post)
I think I’m gonna name these smaller spiders after the real Latrodectus Mactans models that I used for the original. Therefore, this one shall be called Edna.
Welding on some legs…..
Finished One!!!
-for the first one, I’m just going with a simple black patina, and I polished and masked the little hourglass on her tummy.
More photos below the fold…..
Finally got ‘em in metal!! (update of the little spiders post)
Still got a long way to go, but…..
-Check out them buns -SHINY!!!
First Kiss was one of my earliest large-scale bronzes.
It is based on a story I heard a few years ago…
It’s not really about spiders, at all…
but the imagery of a seven-foot-long metal black widow often overpowers the real intent….
Charade Rest is a piece that I started a long time ago…
I was working on it before 9/11, and after that happened, I put it on hold for a while.
as time went on, however….
God’s children is a two-part piece I finished in mid 2008.
Despite its simplicity, or perhaps because of it, I think that ideologically, it is my strongest piece to date.
A few in progress images on the little guys…..
This is an update of the new spiders post…
the live one and the dead one
