I finished Medusa today. This photo doesn't do it justice, epic. I say. The eyes are actually shaded white and are just a bit bloody as it's a very fresh tattoo. This measures about 6" x 6". Also did some sweet script - "Fancy" and "Dirty" killer side-hand tattoos on a way cool hairdresser, Dionne. Good times. I spotted Freddie C. at Aunt Mary's today- but didn't interrupt. Serious eatin'
This is Medusa in the skin. I'm pooped. I'm too tired to clean house now- and Netflix & my pajamas are calling.
I just watched NEAR DARK which stars a friend of mine; Jenette Goldstein Near Dark is going with the vampire theme for the season.
I met Jenette through her husband Aaron who's close friends with my husband, Jeremy. Jeremy spoke at their wedding. We try to visit them whenever we're in LA and we did get a chance to see her in a play, FROZEN. Good stuff. Aaron is a pretty amazing artist which I will write about soon enough.
I'm working on another epic tattoo. Medusa for a friend of mine. It's due tomorrow. The sketches have been made; They were just approved with an enphatic "Fucking amazing. Holy shit." In the meantime I'll paint in watercolors so I have a decent color scheme going for her. Tracing over and over, tweaking and tweaking.
I went to the Parkway Theater where a couple of friends and I saw "Let the Right One In" which was a very amazing vampire flick from Sweden. It was a nice compliment to the cheese of the Twilight series I devoured over the last month and a half. It's pretty obvious that my obsession with the cheese of "Horror" involving vampires, since I finished "Eclipse" in December and suggested a side trip to Forks, WA while we were in the Seattle area over Christmas. I even went back and repurchased all the Poppy Z. Brite books I've read in the past. Lastnight I can safely say that I will be cementing my collection with a dvd of the movie I saw last night.
My friend Lori wrote a sweet review for it in Me-Likey.
