i've been drinking soju all nite thanks to my wonderful client of the nite. she's awesome. she brought six bottles. very good very, very good, i tell too many stories and my mouth is too big. thank you to all my clients who put up with my shit and good luck to those who don't.

...cause life is good that's why!

YEAH!

first day at ink machine, the best client west of montreal showed up with a crazy deer skull he hunted, we freehanded that mother onto his huge side ( very fun live drawing exercise direct onto skin), he sat like a rock as always for 6 hrs, the piece is huge

... not much posts in a week since keep forgetting to take photos and enjoying the summer and not giving a fuck, i will have some next week so stay tuned, but here's a not finished drawing which will be done in a full color version for not the original client who was disappointed i was not psychic and drew what was not in his head but in mine, imagine that, i really have to learn how to read peoples' minds, otherwise i will not make it in this business.

...yes i know her right hand is too big, its a sketch...

CLIENTS

Parfois les clients peuvent être toute une corvée. Moi-même je ne suis pas la personne la plus facile avec qui s’entretenir, mais ceci est ma passion et j’y œuvre très fort. Dans la mesure que le permettent mes douleurs et mes maux, je suis seul à gérer mes opérations malgré le fait de travailler dans un grand shop.  Ceci étant dit, je ne peux pas accepter tout ce que le vent m’emporte, donc j’essai de choisir des gens avec qui je sens que je pourrai bien travailler et qui m’apportent des projets intéressant. Ce qui est important c’est que l’expérience en soit une plaisante pour tous les gens concernés. Parfois il m’arrive de tomber sur l’occasionnel maniaque de contrôle qui se trouve à être terriblement confus - tout simplement un con qui rend ma journée tout à fait pénible et qui me donne une sale envie de boire. Alors je vous en prie, j’adore tatouer, surtout des pièces qui sortent de l’ordinaire, des pièces magnifiques et des projets avec lesquels je peux m’amuser, mais je suis loin d’être un OUTIL pour les sots qui on un baton dans le cul en plus d'avoir une vision bornée.

 

Merci et bonne journée à tous

CLIENTS

clients can be a handful, and i'm not the most easiest person to deal with, but this is my passion and i work hard at it - my pains and aches permitting,

i am a one man operation even though i work at a big shop, and cannot handle everything which comes my way, so i try to choose people i will work well with and their projects, and everybody involved will have fun, which is important,

but sometimes i will take an occasional control freak and just a generally confused and ASSHOLISH person who will make my day difficult and in need of a drink,

so please, i love to tattoo, especially different, beautiful and fun ideas,

and not be a TOOL for somebody's stick up the ass - constrained blind visions

thank you and have a nice day
