So I just finished 2 more which combined took about 55 - 60 hours to complete. That puts the "VANCOUVER LOOKING UP" at 12 works. I have another long thin canvas and it is screaming to be painted as a skyline of the city. uhhhhh. This would put the series at 13 and i have this thing about having my series in even numbers so I think I will have to do the skyline AND one more....but there are sooooooooo many more buildings to do. I wanna get out of structures and get into nudes (not toooo dirty) and more organic shapes. I'm gonna be uploading some more drawings that I have been doing at 3 and 4am at coffee shops between long cutting times. These are pretty wild drawings. Hope you enjoy them as much as the stencil work.

Hello JJShaver,

last week I saw the henna tattoo of the german eagle in your website-gallery and I want to know if you can send me the motive of this eagle because I'm very interested in getting this tattoo.

it was from a tshirt for a german soccer team. I don't watch soccer but it was pretty important to this guy I did the henna for. I think it is a well know symbol for some prominant soccer team in germany is all I know. I hope this helped. It's a nice design. Good luck and thanks for the kind words.

Thank you very much. I've been working harder now than ever on it. Glad good people are noticing. You have some wicked characters in your gallery. Stenciling them would be fun. Thanks again for the kind words.
