New Art

Hello friends.
Here's a little update. I think I mentioned before that I'm working on a portfolio just for tattoo design. This is one of my classic gypsy designs with my friends name. I'm working with out a tablet but on CS5 so i've been able to do some cool things, though i still miss having a tablet. All in good time I guess. I've gotten a couple call back about some graphic design gigs here in loveland but so far nothing has panned out. Though this town does have some great galleries to get involved in as well as a big bronze sculpture community. I hear there's some major players out here. I also had a pretty good experience at a tattoo shop in Greeley. I might have a spot there in time, so keep your fingers cross for me.

On a side note I'm a little miffed about somethings, and have been for awhile. I used to be involved in a society of sorts and by involved I mean i was a member without any perks for being a member. No one in charge even communicated with me when I tried to contact them about things. I was only able to submit to one show because a friend was kind enough to tell me about it. When I mentioned this to those in charge, that I and other members were never let in on show dates and deadlines, instead of a response I got booted from the community. This really perturbed me. I am a good artist and it was really insulting to be treated that way. At least I could have been given a response or a reason. Recently they put on a Sailor Jerry show. When I was apprenticing I had to do a lot of research on Sailor Jerry and I know a whole lot of the guy. Most of the work I saw that was submitted seems to have no idea who he was or what he was about other than he was called a sailor and therefore must be really involved in mermaids. It just irked me beyond belief because this is a huge part of my life and something that I really hold close to my heart artistically but some dude decided I wasn't good enough to be part of a community with no notice what so ever, but its fine for people to have no clue about subject to submit to any show they want as long as they meet some unspoken standard. Maybe I'm bitter or maybe I think it's just not ok to be jerks.

When I finish certain pieces I'll make sure to post them so keep watching
