A quick update.....

So it's a been while since I've updated. Took last Wednesday off to get my leg worked on by Dave C, it's almost there! Because I took the day off I decided to work on Monday. Got to tattoo a lion head on Ray. I don't usually do this style but I had a lot of fun.

A few weeks ago I started this on Leah, can't wait to finish it!!!!!

Had some new business cards made along with pins. New stickers should be in next week. Pepe is also working on a new t-shirt design. I saw the preview of it today and its a killah! Our convention banner is going to the print we used for the t-shirt last year. We all really like it so......

I got ENGAGED to the love of my life!!!!! You dream of a girl like this.

Last Friday, Christian and Gen came by the shop for a few drinks. It was good to see them, it's been a while. Of course, Christian got tattooed. I figured we should tattoo the flash design I did of him on him.

We had the pleasure of taking our bloodborne pathogens course last Sunday. I'm so happy that this is finally being offered here in Quebec. It's time to shut down all those dirty fucking shops! Everyone in our shop is now certified.

That's it for now. Thanks for looking,

Shamus.

It's been 10 years!

So the last time I saw my cousin, it was 10 years ago. We decided to maximize the time he was here with tattoos! The 1st night we did a snake and skull on his forearm which took 7 long hours. 3 days later we did a stork with the postal code of the hospital he born in here in Montreal. Oh, and a mustache on the finger of course.

Just recently finished my new business card and another sheet of flash. Also, the shop should be receiving new pins next week. Stay tuned for new t-shirts design by Pepe and myself.

Thanks for looking!

Your life is over!

Gabe(No Damn Good Skate park) sent me an image the other day and wanted to get it tattooed. Once I saw the image, I knew this was going on his hand. Re-drew it, put my twist on it and voila! Your life is now over!

Black Mass!!!!!!!

I finally finished her last night! The painting measures 12X20 inches. It seemed to take longer than expected though. The previous painting I did at this size, The Wizard didn't take nearly as long. We'll its done and ready to be shipped to its new owner.

Now I'm going to focus on finishing my new set of flash. Can't wait to finish them!
Also, I'm going to start a limited sheet of flash for St-Patrick's Day. I'm going to post the sheet in front of the shop and it will be first come, first serve kinda day. Pretty excited about that.

Busy, busy!

I've been keeping myself pretty with work, painting and snowboarding. So far, this winter has been great, new snow almost every morning. It always feels good to get out of the city and into the country woods. I went to Sutton last week and spent the entire day riding in the woods. The snow was deep, it was like a dream. Fresh tracks all day long!
So far, I've managed to complete 4 sheets of new flash. I'm really happy with the way they're turning out. However, I'm not sure how many I'm going to do, maybe I'll stop at 6? Here's a preview of the 4 so far.

Also got to tattoo a piece from my old set.

Other than that, just living life the way I chose.

Time for an update!

So, I've recently started a 2nd flash set. I'm really excited about it. The 2nd set has to do with being influenced by traditional tattoos and ancient symbolism. Already got to tattoo a piece from it as we'll! Here's the 1st sheet so far, and the tattoo.

Got to do some really fun tattoos lately. Tattooed my friend Christophes other hand. We did a skull on his right hand and this time a wizard. Really fun tattoo, and a great night as we'll.

Last night, tattooed Azls knee. It was a mandala based design which I created with a little twist. When designing this piece, I always saw it on a knee or elbow. Lucky enough, Azl had space on his knee and was excited about the design. Another fun tattoo, and great night!

Also, extremely good news! I received my Electric Wizard, Black Masses Die Hard Edition on vinyl. Simply amazing!

Finishing off 2010 the right way.

I woke up on the 31st and wanted to be productive. I wanted to finish 2010 with a final painting and solid tattoo, a great way to finish the year.
The painting was done in the morning and inspired by Big Ben. The tattoo was done from my flash card collection and is on Elodie. I was happy to have finished both and leave them in 2010.
As for 2011, I need to finish the set of flash that Joel and I started, and also the set Freako and I started.

Other plans for 2011 consist of getting more tattoos, snowboarding and skateboarding!!!!!
