Well I have to say that I'm pretty happy, this weekend I went to Calgary and met Masuimi Max at the Calgary Tattoo convention. I generally don't need a reason to attend a Tattoo convention, but if you have been following my work you might know that I did mad a pinup image of Masuimi (in front of a green hotrod).
It was great to chat with her and get her impression of my work. We talked for about 15 min where she gave me some ideas about selling my work. She was definitely cool, and was happy that I included her name with the image so that's great! Next will be to figure out how to sell these.
Also we exchanged signed copies of the print. Here is link to the sample image before I put all the credit stuff on it.
Really I was just happy to hear that she thought my work was awesome and that she had no issues with me selling my work of her. I hope that I can do more pieces and who knows where it could lead for a career!

College is done!
After many months away focusing on school, I'm happy to report that I have graduated! Of course one would think that I'm free of assignments and will have all this free time, but of course that isn't the case. We've been allowed to stay until Oct 15 to finish up projects, etc. This is perfect for me since I'm not entirely happy/completed my website. There is a lot to do and I'm sure I'll never really be satisfied...but it's got to get done!
Another minor complication is either finding gainful employment, or at least projects. I prefer projects since I love making my own schedule, and I think there is a lot more I can accomplish. Time will tell and things will reveal itself.
Speaking of the future, I'm pretty excited about the next upcoming weekends. The Tattoo Convention will be in #yeg (Edmonton) next weekend and to #yyc (Calgary) the following. I'll be going to both events. At the Edmonton dates I'll be getting tattooed and it will be the first time in over a year - much too long if you know me well. For the Calgary event I'm looking forward to meeting Masuimi Max - you'll note that I have a pinup completed and I'm working on another project. My hope is that she'll like my work. Regardless, both events will be fun!
Write more later, sooner than later I promise!
