quidditch

2010-07-22T21:45:00.000-04:00

Here is a tattoo of a golden snitch that I did in July 2010 on Nick. I also did an illustration study before doing the tattoo. I didn't realize the snitch's wings were different in the books and the movies. The study I did had wings like in the movies but for his tattoo Nick wanted the wings the snitch had from the books. Either way it was a fun tattoo to do.

This is one of the results. This piece will hang in the Continuum Art Gallery from July 30, 2010 to Sept. 3rd 2010. The gallery is located at 125 W. Wayne St. in Ft. Wayne, next to J. K. O'Donell's.

Sailor Jerry girl

2010-07-22T21:21:00.000-04:00

tea cup

2010-07-22T20:03:00.000-04:00

Here's a tattoo of a d20 I did fall of 2009. I love D&D so this was a fun one to do, one of my favorites. Thanks Lucas
