I haven’t hung art on a wall in a while so I’m super excited to put some up for October at Low Brow Lounge in NW Portland.
I’ve been in my cave making a bunch of new stuff so come down and check it out! It’ll be up all month and there’s an opening reception 10.2.25 6-9pm. Hope to see you there!

My books are opening next Tuesday!
New stuff is on its way! Please enjoy this silly animation while I cook up new tattoo ideas for you 😈

Let me know what types of designs you love to see in my flash this round!

Another custom for Kendall!
