In light of my Mother's upcoming birthday here's a little watercolour of her favourite critter, the Monarch Butterfly. Happy Birthday Mom!
During this evening's LOTR-esque public transit journey from Victoria to Vancouver I savoured a few spare moments (“gift time” I call it) to reflect on the past year.
Let me get all scientific-like and suggest that if you take an individual day as a representative sample of the year, today has been solid evidence that 2009 was outstanding with quite a few personal milestones achieved following a serious increase in my creative output. …continue reading
Full Circle
Time, how she flies.
This last month has been jam-packed with tattooing: working four days at Tattoo Zoo, my home shop in Victoria, and coming over to Vancouver to tattoo for three days at Sacred Heart Downtown.
This seven-day-a-week streak lasted just over a month and has now settled into a comparatively relaxed five-day schedule.
Until the end of February you'll find me at:
Sacred Heart Downtown, 725 Nelson
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 10am – 10pm
Sacred Heart Kits, 3734 West 10th Ave.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 12 – 7pm
Then, at the end of February it's back to lovely Vancouver Island.
Full Circle: Tattooing where I first got Tattooed
Being at the Kits location has been a curious experience: 16 years ago I got my first tattoo there (I even kept the receipt around someplace—I'll post once I track it down again). A circle of sorts has been completed in my life: working at that shop definitely recalls a lot of my initial fascination and love for tattooing and tattoos. All these years later it remains a solid shop staffed with amazingly talented people; a great place to tattoo at, and still a fantastic place to get your first tattoo. Come pay us a visit!
