Beowulf Tattoo

I just finished up a commission for a client. he wanted a tattoo sleeve of the story of beowulf. it was definitely a challenge to even figure out how to lay that out. it's kind of got a strange amorphous boarder. I think it came out pretty cool but I've never designed a sleeve tattoo before so I'm not quite sure if it's going to work, but hopefully the tattoo artist will be able to adapt it how it needs to be. I'm unsure if I want to add the piece to my regular portfolio though since it does look kind of odd being designed within the format of an arm. I'm really just excited to get paid as the economy has been punching me in the face the last few months. I really hate banks and want to keep my money in a mattress. or everything should be free. for me. I'm busy busy though. It feels like its non-stop but I know its going to slow down soon and I'm sure I'm not going to know what to do with myself.  I do have a new living situation though with some really good friends and house is super sweet. That is awesome. I mean as much as I love my studio, i like having a real house better. and you know, showers are great. but i'm going to have story material until i die. sweet
