MATA!!

...We are off to Japan!
Good times ahead with friends, good tattoos, getting tattooed and a lot of pictures. Should be good for the blog...if we get a internetconection to post stuff from....

See you soon...

Extra!

Just a little leftover from the reference shoot. After all that Black and white we can all use some color! The hat is made by my wife. Check out some more of her hats on her blog.

Also...Denmark is rainy and cold and no fun at all! Denmark sucks. Hurra for wife and Lucifer (the dog) and going to Japan soon!

Reference shoots are fuuuun!!! ...Part Two

This is from the same shoot for reference as the last post...just a small costume change...

Reference shoots are fuuuun!!!

We took these pictures mostly so I could use them for reference when drawing them hot dames. Fun was had...good times. Who doesn't like taking pictures of their hot wife?
I sure do!!!
Some of the pictures from these shoots might end up on someones skin some day.

Evian

We just got back from a few days in France. The reason for our trip was the 2 days convention in Evian and following Nicks birthday but more about that later.
Evian is a nice little town with mostly older people living there and not much to do so it seamed like a strange location for a tattoo convention. I was kinda nice to walk out of a noice buzzing convention and look at pretty mountains and cute houses so it worked!

Here is what came out of my trip this time. Did one more but we need to re-outline it so the pictures of that one will have to wait a bit.

To see more pictures and read tales from our trip to the country of smelly cheeses and baguettes then go to my wifes blog! So is sooo much better at this than me.

Morning cafè

Outside our hotel and few steps from the convention.

I ended up working all the time as always so I never even saw what was going on in the rest of the place but good to meet some people we only see on conventions and to meet some new friends.

More pictures later! I had my 35 mm Holga with me Loaded with B/W film so I am looking forward to see what comes out of that.

NATURE...Goulet!

Here is Holga on vacation. I took her to the countryside where Amalies parents have their vacation house. It's also close to where I come from.
This is also from the first couple of rolls of 120mm.
I think Holga liked it there.

From Russia With Love

Ahhh...the city!! This is from some of the first rolls of film taken with my lovely Russian piece of plastic, Holga! It's tricky when you don't really know what you get from it but I am starting to get the idea. I love the format and the camera but getting the pictures printed is expencive and hard so It might be a while before I go on a 120mm Frenzy again. Now it is time to try out it's baby brother...the 35 mm Holga. Soon to come!

Brighton

After the London Convention we went to Brighton to work at Magnum Opus. We stayed at a nice little brand spanking new guesthouse runned by a great guy called Alfredo.
I didn't get to see that much of Brighton because of my working problem...I do it too much. "My name is Allan and I'm a workaholic"

The plan was to take a bunch of pictures while I was there, specially of the Pier but when we finally got there I was almost drained/too stressed to take any good pictures. I snapped away but not a lot turned out good so here is my tourist shots from Brighton.

Woooow...2 colours and you can be THAT cool!!!

Cover Up

Also a cover up

Science stuff or an alien bong?

Our good friends Matt and Steph came to Brighton to hang out with us
Good peeps!

Vegie Bangers and mash.

Flight of the Albatros

From our Hotel window

Somehow it's like the tattoo looks better with Dan in the picture...strange

We had a nice friday morning before Hunter had to go back to the States and me back to work.

Fish and chips shouldn't be eaten as breakfast...just saying.

This horse sound thing is getting old...

...But here is just one more!!

This little Chess pawn is not number two...not number tree either...Nope! This one is a winner! That's right! Number ONE, Baby! Numero Uno!!!

Holgalicious!!

Here are some of the first shots that I actually got printed taken with my fancy plastic Holga camera. What a fine piece of plastic. I love the 120mm format and the way the pictures look but it is a pain in the ass to get printed here in Denmark! 2 weeks!! So when I found out that I could get a 35mm Holga I figured I would give that a shot. Just so I can take more Holgalicious pictures and without having to wait untill forever to see the results. I also got a bunch of different films to try out on this new piece of fine plastic so hopefully there will be plenty of Holga up in here preeeeetty soon! Stay tuned!









...Still to come:

Hunter/Uncle Flash
Tattoo Update
Brighton
More Holga and Cat camera

The chances of anything coming from Mars...

This years London Tattoo convention was as expected busy but fun! We shared the booth with our permanent Convention Buddy Chriss Dettmer...good times!! This yeah we also shared with one more great friend! Kent who works for Tattoo Artist Magazine. When him and Hunter Spanks, who were supposed to work in the TAM booth, got to the convention they found out that something had been mixed up so they didn't have a booth. Hunter got placed in a different booth with a nother tattooer and we decided that Kent just as well could have the magazines in our booth. More good times specially since we normally don't get to hang that much with people. This way we got some hang time while working! To add to the good times we also had Dan Sinnes across from us and Eckel next to him! Weee...

ok I really can't write right now...not fun to read and not that interesting either so here is just some pretty pictures! ...and yes the tattoos is made by me!

I...Want your skull!!

This is a little thing that I did for the magazine I Want Your Skull. The subject was obviously skulls but it also had to be done in only black and gray...tuff when you are used to use a lot of colors all the time!! The urges to throw in some red in those roses was hard to fight but I did it!!!




There is a bunch of cool different types of artist in the magazine sharing their skulls so check it out. You can find it and by it HERE. ...Yes, "here" is the link!

Soon to come...
