Destination: New York!

So I have finally made it here to the Big Apple… it’s been a crazy few months of non-stop travel, overseas and around the country. I packed my RV with all my essentials sold/gave away the rest (even got TWO scooters inside the RV), and hit the road bound for New York, via Kansas City. Through mountains and snow and ice, the great plains and long hours behind the wheel, I finally arrived in Brooklyn NY. Home!

Here are some pics of the last few weeks, including some farewell lunches/dinners/rollerskate parties, and last minute tattoos. Also I managed to squeak in a very short trip to New Orleans

New York!

Once again, I am packing my bags and moving across the country, this time I am moving to New York City, where I will be working for Mike Rubendall at the mighty Kings Avenue Tattoo in Long Island, starting in early April!

Seattle has been a wonderful experience for me, I have met some amazing people there and made some serious friends for life, I will be sad to leave. I would like to say thanks to all my close friends that have helped me out over the last year or so, without whom I would have been lost.

Apathy, their stepping stone.

Been on the road since early January. Kansas City MO, Cape Town South Africa, New York NY. Still here in NY, but here are a few pics and tattoos from the last month or so…

Boredom sets into the boring mind.

Just a few more fresh ones from this week, plus an older one that I finally got a (bad) picture of. Thanks to Rachael and Adam for reaching out and getting tattooed on their journey. Safe travels!

Also, I painted a few little xmas presents for the Heidis, Big and Lil. 5×7′s, based on Metallica songs from And Justice for All. The first one for Lil Heidi (aka Heidi Scheck) is ‘Eye of the Beholder’ which is about the restrictions on our freedom of speech in this country. The second, for Big Heidi (aka Biggie Talls, Large Marge, Heidi Saladtooth, Heidi Sandhorst) is ‘Blackened’ which is a song about the ravaging effects of a nuclear war on mother earth.

Every mile is two in winter.
