Tattooing Update

I have been a wee bit of a busy bee, or possibly slow to update, we will call it a mix of both. But I have been doing some tattoos recently so my apprenticeship moves ever forward. Thanks to some of my lovely friends I have been able to make good progress in the past couple weeks and I am now up to my 10th tattoo, so thank you everyone who has helped me so far! I really appreciate it.

Sea Life

On our way home we decided to head out to the Sea Life Sanctuary after all, it was kind of on our way and so after picking up a couple souvenirs for the Dicksons back home, we headed out. It was a really nice stop in front of Loch Creran and all the different aquariums were really interesting, Dixon and I even got a fright from the eel, even though he was just sitting there. 

So it was a nice way to finish off our trip out to Oban, we used my phone for the satnav on the way back so I didn't get any pictures of us going home bar one. 

Oban

So as I was saying last time, we made it to Oban safe and sound Saturday afternoon, we were thinking of heading out to the Scottish Sea Life Sanctuary, but as it turned out, it was actually outside Oban and after all of that driving we just decided to stop, park the car and wander along the shore. So we found free parking and made our way to the shore, and Oban did not disappoint. It was every bit as gorgeous as I was led to believe from Dixon and my numerous google searches. And as we were walking we made plans to head up to McCaig's Tower just perched at the top of Battery Hill and then have a wee look to see if we would be able to find somewhere to stay, because as gorgeous as the drive in was some of those roads were tiny. So we thought it would be better if Dixon didn't have to drive 4 more hours that day. So more with McCaig's Tower next time. 

Also as we walked along I saw my first jellyfish, I was pretty excited but luckily for you I am only sharing 4 photos.

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!
