Drawing Time

Its been a busy drawing week for me, had a lot of requests from people, so that has kept me busy, I think every single drawing in this post has an owner, or hopefully owner. So that has been a lot of fun! Its been a busy couple of weeks, with summer coming the Dungeons has been super busy, and the studio has been well booked up. So busy bees all around. Whch makes me doubley happy I have been able to draw so many things.

So lots of fun for me, the progression of size in Alana's goldfish was fun, I only needed to draw the body once, and then the tail kept growing and growing, but it came out really cool, and I'm glad we kept extending the tail, it really suits the piece.

Big huge thanks to the comic Bitch Planet, Kelly Sue DeConnick and Kate Leth for the inspiration for this last piece, I am so excited that Beth asked for this and can't wait to do get tattooing this piece!

Work In Progress

Back to work on the fun stuff again, so these are my 3rd and 4th tattoos, Joe at first wanted me to do his elbow, which was super scary, but Kris said no, as the skin is odd and I wouldn't be ready for it, not to mention, Joe has some extensive elbow skin, so we settled for the ankle-y calf region, which suits me just fine. And Dixon wanted his Critikill he had done some time ago covered with my smashing blouse painting. So they both need finishing, but it has been a lot of fun so far.

And the sketches for the rooster 

Out and About

Some wee bits and bobs from the past couple weeks, and I have been trying to get out and do things even with my busy work schedule so I was really happy when Beth invited me out to lunch. the Edinburgh Farmers Market was celebrating 15 years and chefs from round the capital were showcasing lunch menus for £3, there were loads of different bar-be-que's and slow cooked roasted pork, so I was delighted to find the Gardener's Cottage (I believe, I should have taken a moment to take a picture of their stall) but the herbed potato salad and as much side salad as you pleased, with the elderflower cordial were lovely, just what you would want on a hot day. Lunch was then finished off rather indulgently with a Creme Brulee from The Crema Caravan, burnt while you order, with salted caramel and brownies to top it off. So hopefully the Farmers Market has another birthday bash, because that lunch was amazing.

And secondly for a lovely lady at my works leaving do we went to the Edinburgh Zoo Nights event, So there was animals drinking and dinosaurs, what more would you want. I have been waiting a wee bit to post this until their facebook posted a couple photos that I knew we were in, but they haven't appeared and knowing how I blog, that wouldn't be posted for years to come if I didn't pop those up just now. So I technically count this as visit number 3, but I wish I would have brought a better camera.

Wee Goldfish for Stephen

Gah, I'm behind again I have a bunch of news, but I am going to try to keep this orderly and not make a massive post, so hopefully expect a few posts in the coming week.

 So first things first, I did my second tattoo! Stephen kindly volunteered for it which was quite nerve racking as he has some amazing tattoos, but it was a lot of fun, I especially enjoyed doing the colouring as I didn't do that on the one I did on myself. I am really proud of how it turned out all together though. Hopefully more to come soon!

I am hopefully going to keep adding to this stencil wall and fill it up!

So second one so far, just need to find my rose stencil and pop it up there,

All drawn in the one day as well, were trying to work out something Japanese for Stephen to go with his theme.
