lately i have been struggleing to be creative as an artist. i have not created anything new in a long time and in my profession i draw for everyone else and never for me but never the less i draw it all out of my brain! i never copy others art and i work hard to keep my self true to my own art ability! i admit i do searches on subjects and use the talent of others to spark my inspiration but NEVER copy! recently i looked up stuff and noticed that i have come across a bunch of fakers!!!!! this makes me so mad! and all claim their copied work as there own!!! what a DISGRACE to what a real artist is! you may not be the best artist but if you try and you acomplish any thing on your own then you can call yourself an artist no matter the skill art is art and is respected as such. but if you feel you copy from already excisting art then you are not a true artist. a true artist can brain storm and create and make mistakes. an artist learns from experience and takes the time in themselves to learn who they are from the art they create. it takes only minutes to trace and copy but it takes years and even lifetimes to develope and learn which leads to growth and strength! so ask yourself what kind of artist are you.

so before i moved to hawaii i got the biggest tatto i have ever had. it takes up my whole leg. well from knee to ankle on my right leg. it is th obsidian painting the one that you see on my page. it's not colored yet but it will be soon. i just thought i'd share that little bit of info cause i love it.

so i have come across a great opportunity. in 11 days i will be getting on a plane and my daughter and i will be moving to hawaii.

i got an amaizing job offer. i'll become a tattoo artist in maui. i guess my art reached the right person finally. i should be giving tattoos on my own by june.

this has been a dream of mine for a long time. so also it may be a long time till anyone hears from me, but latly whats new.
