Miilaaaaaaaaaaaaaano!! She's a beautyfull!!

As some of you know I was trying something out on this years Milan convention. It worked out pretty good and it was really really nice not to have to draw early in the morning or waste time doing the day on redrawing stuff. That meant that I actually had time to take a look around and buy stuff and say hello to people...well at least more than usual. I guess I will try this out again next year.
I think I have decided to go with my plan from last year on London for this year as well.
So here is the result from this years Milan Experiment. If you want to see more then go to my wifes blog and see her report on this event. She had made this cute hat for Sunny Buick.

I forgot this guy last year so he was the only one who had an appointment. Thanks for waiting a whole year!!
It is also another attempt to take Bobby T out of the game with this super realistic portrait of my customers mom.

I didn't get one good picture of this one so I had to photoshop the crap out of the picture. Sucks! I have been wanting to do a sealion for ages. It looked really good in real life!

So that was it for this years Milan convention. Good times were had. It was good to see some of our once-a-year-friends again and also some of our friends that we are lucky enough to see more than once a year. It was a pleasure to share booth with my good friend Chriss Dettmer and it was good to have my other homie Hunter S just around the corner.
To end this report I wanna show how friggin' awesome Crash's (editor of Tattoo Artist Magazine) daughter, Raven is!! She rocks and with her brand new Uncle A shirt she is now one of the cool kids!! Yeah!

This is just a test!

Usually when I go to Conventions I end up overbooking myself and that usually results in me having to get up early every morning and draw and won't have time for breakfast or anything. When the day is done, usually after they throw me of the floor as one of the last artist still working, I will be beat after a loooong day of drawing and tattooing. Therefore I have decided to try something out for this years Milan Convention.
There will be no appointments, only Walk-ins.
There will be no requests for designs because there will be a selection of flash and line-drawings to choose from and that is it...what you see is what you can get.
I hope it will work out. If this works then that means that there will be no early morning drawing sessions and that I will have time to walk around if that is what I feel like. There will be no delays due to change of designs and that means that I can use that time to either do an extra tattoo or just walk around or finally get that beer with my good friend Chriss who I always share the booth with. We will see.
Anyway! Here is a little sneak preview of the first paintings done. I got a bunch of animals sketched up that I hopefully will get painted before the convention and if not I will bring the lines.

I think that I will sell the paintings after they are done but not for flash. I don't know yet! They are supposed to be like a custom tattoo. A custom tattoo that is already made up for you! You don't even have to think of the idea. Wooow!
Well I will let you guys know how it went and if everything goes well I will have some cool pictures to prove it.
