This past summer whilst guesting at This Time Tomorrow in Brooklyn, I had the absolute honor of tattooing Jaya @jayaism via ig and website link here www.Jayaism.com Jaya is a Tattooer whom I am hugely inspired by.
He very kindly sent over some healed photographs, this is about 4 months healed and settled.
This piece is inspired by bamboo ornament motifs from Borneo and Timor, which was to connect with Jaya’s Indonesian heritage.
Thank you Jaya.
My posts on this blog are sporadic to say the least…..
In an attempt to share some photographs of my work and keep posting…….
Here is Ryan’s back photographed on Ilford 4×5 hp5 film, using my Graflex Speed Graphic with a Schneider Xenar 210mm f3 Lens, taken last month whilst in Texas.
Thank you for looking, and thank you Ryan for getting this work done and sitting through all of it.
I’ve been very inspired by On the Nature of Daylight, a piece of music by @maxrichtermusic a lot with these new paintings, they are in an Exhibition I currently have up as part of @artwavefestival here in my home town of Lewes, East Sussex.
Ive been wanting to create beacons, almost in an astral or cosmic sense, guiding lights out of or within the darkness that seems to be thrust upon us constantly by the current giant corporations of social media and mainstream news.
I’ve been lucky to see Max Richter play live a few times and it is truly incredible, there is a quote from him that resonates a lot with me, its about making music to create a place to think. I took inspiration from that and within these paintings wanted to create a place for the mind to rest and look forward towards these points of light, lighthouses if you will, as positive forces of nature like the sun.

First off id like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me and my endeavors over the years.
Below is an updated look at what I have to offer via my various publishers and web-stores, selling art and merchandise allows me to take a step back from tattooing to create art that informs and refreshes my look at the tattoos I do, the support is invaluable. Thank you.

I had the honor of tattooing Michael whilst working at Rock of Ages tattoo for nearly the entirety of my tenure there, 8 years…….. what a great time it was!
I can’t thank Michael enough for his trust and dedication to getting this work done, we still have a little to finish and I can’t wait to get back to Austin to continue Michael’s tattoos and work alongside my ROA family.
Thanks for looking, if you would like some work from me please follow the links to my contact page.
