Dragon Tattoo 8.6


I've made more progess on the tattoo design so far. I really like how the head and wings have turned out. I'm finding that I may need to go back and adjust the lower body to keep a more consistant line width. Nick's name is far too bold, leaving Kyra's name to look out of place. I am happy that I was able to be fairly consistant in my letter styles, making an A and an N that fit well either in a wing or to fill up a body was quite the challenge.

Next is to perhaps add a lower claw and to add some 'fire' coming out of the mouth. I want to add a few more names and that might be the best way to do that.

I also should get this down to a tattoo shop to have them critique it, I should find out if my lines are too thick or thin before making too many more revisions. Overall, I'm happy with the design and we should be able to get it done soon.

Tattoo Design 8.1

I've been working for many years on a tattoo design for Ticia and I. The idea is to lay the kid's names out in a dragon shape. I've lost count of the drawings I done for this. I'm looking for the perfect design and I'm liking how Rebecca's name is in this design. Now to tweak Nick's and add the others!

A quick Confusion logo

Once a year our family travels to Door County for a long weekend getaway with our friends. This year the theme of the weekend is the Indiana Jones movies. We were discussing whether we should have monkey brains for the main dinner gathering and that gave me the idea for this sketch for a logo for the Con.

Done in pen & ink using Faber-Castell india ink pens on plain graph paper.
