My Art On Your Bodies!


Deborah, a very good friend of mine and talented tattoo artist, just paid me the huge compliment of tattooing my art onto her arm.  Eeeep! I don't have any tattoos. Mostly because I could never decide on an image that I want on my skin permanently. As in forever! It was a huge surprise for me to see this via text message. 

Here is her website where you can see more photos of Deborah's tattoos, art and private tattoo studio located in Chilliwack:


Below is a detail from my painting used for the tattoo. This piece is called "In the Gloaming". At the time that I painted this I had just discovered these brushes that look almost like a fork. They have awesome separation so they make a multi-mark. This was how I achieved the grass effect and the swirly atmosphere of the background.
