Catch for us the foxes...





In the midst of the triple triad as I call it (see the last post if you dont know what that is), I have found some time here and there to do some more leisurely work. Naturally, after the unanimous success of my seraph tattoo Ive most definitely been thinking about getting more. A few ideas have begun to surface, and so I thought I would reveal them to you my multitudinous viewers. 

One of the ideas swirling about in my maelstrom of a mind derives from both a bible verse and lyric from one of my favorite musical collectives : mewithoutYou.

" Catch for us the foxes in the vineyard...."

The vineyard is symbolic of our bodies, our temples, our spirits while the foxes represent the evils attempting to infiltrate them. If I were to get this tatoo, it would feature three of such canids making there way up my left arm from my wrist to lower tricep....like they are on the prowl. Two of such early sketches are featured here. 

Ive also been playing with the idea of more biblical symbolic creatures...such as the seven-eyed slain Lamb from Revelation. As they make their way from my head to the paper, I will be sure to put them up.

Godspeed....

Maiden sentries and flora spewing helmets




Cheerio...

At long last, I have a bit of new material to put up. As of late I have been occupied with the triple triad of Design Methodologies, my website, and my thesis. It can be a bit of a pickle balancing the three, but Ive tried to really push the website work so I can get that up and running and begin sending linked resumes out. 

Ive really tried to focus on making the template for the website intriguing and indicative of my work, so the viewer is immediately bombarded with Smollustration (which Ive created solely for the website instead of using existing work).  Here is an early idea for a layout, and the sketches involved.

Long three months ahead of me.....
