back in the day when i was young, i'm not a kid any more

...but some days i sit and wish i was

so to go along with the virgin marry great white shark(born 2 kill) i posted a few days ago. is my TEAM HATE panther. what is team hate. i have no idea, but here he is.
Photobucket

when i draw stuff its eather cartoony or tattoo inspired.... and here is a story to along with that tidbit of information.

when i was a kid a loved to draw. i don't know why i just really loved it, and i wasnt to bad at it eather. something else you may not know about me but i am stubborn, like stubborn as a billy goat stubborn.

that being said, since i loved drawing so much everyone said i was going to be an artist when i grew up and i relished it, i wanted to be an artist. until i started high school and i started rebelling. all of a sudden i just stopped drawing all together. i would doodle here and there and draw silly cartoons but for the most part i focused on other artistic endeavors such as ceramics, glass work, writing and i got heavily into doing animation for my TV production (which lead to graphic design.

after high school i went to community college and kinda hated it. so i started skipping class. now during this time period i became close friends with a guy who owned a tattoo shop, got a couple and starting drawing American traditional tattoos.
since then its been hanging out at one tattoo shop to another. i remember one time my old roommate once told me all i hung out with was tattoo artist and hardcore kids... thats another story for another time.

so any way thats just a little insight to just one of my artistic inspirations.
