Anyone else really tired of being on the worst timeline?

I am so excited to be able to share that I am once again (after a few years off) participating in ‘s annual post it show!

It opens TODAY in Santa Monica, CA and I wish I could be there to experience the overwhelming joy of a gallery wallpapered in unique and beautiful post its.

Instead, I will have to ask any of you who may be in the area to stop by and take a look, extra points for finding one of my eight pieces which I will be posting here on Instagram in the week to come. Thank you and for the invite and for keeping the tradition alive for an amazing 21 years.

If you are in LA- don’t miss this fun show! All post-it’s are 30$! Grab one while you can!

Over the weekend, I had an idea to make an ink painting of one of my favorite flash design pieces, I have been privileged enough to tattoo on multiple clients: my cuttlefish. I was purposely designing it as a banner to fit in a particular frame that I had laying around, but later a good friend and talented artist, Anna Wren, suggested the design could work really well as a lower leg sleeve seed. I mocked it up and tend to agree 😏 what do you think?

The painting is a work in progress- as is the leg sleeve idea -but definitely hit me up if you have any interest in claiming this one off design!

I hope you enjoy seeing the process of a late night drawing session and how the thinking goes into making an analog ink painting!

And as always if you’re a follower of my painting account but not my tattoo account I invite you to head on over and give me a follow whether you are interested in getting a tattoo or not- social media algorithms determine much of my business unfortunately, and every follow counts, and every like matters -every share is a potential new client for me.

Thank you so much for being an amazing community for supporting me through my journey as an artist. I hope I can continue to provide you with unique artwork for your homes and bodies for years to come.

Comment below other designs that you’d be interested to see painted in a similar style- whether to hang on your walls or to decorate your limbs. 🤘🏼😎



Oh yeah, and f**k 🧊!
