@ironchef there aren't words to describe how freaking awesome that piece is! Congrats.....

[omeletta]

@ironchef You're ahead of me then...they are meant to go up in my bedroom as well, but I haven't even managed to buy frames for them. May be a good job today though, as I'm down with a stupid tummy bug. It might make me feel better ? Did you go for white frames?

@ironchef WOW!!!!! Congratulations!! That is truly incredible, you must feel so accomplished and proud. What an endeavor! That is truly a bold, dynamic, impressive, powerful, and intricate work you have. Truly amazing. ?

@ironchef That is a thing of beauty my man!

@ironchef = you can hereby officially post those pictures in the "jaw dropping" thread! Outstanding.

First session from my long and humbling journey with Horitomo, in August. Ignorantly assumed that I'd be able to schedule within 90 days and was sadly mistaken. Won't have my next appointment until July. It's probably for the better, I needed to pump the brakes.

I must have accidentally deleted my post. Came here to say that the work Mike and Henning put on @ironchef is insane. Thanks for sharing, I got lost in those photos. Got to talk to Henning at the convention and he seems like such a great human.

@ironchef - wow. Just wow. Wow. It's hard to believe the last time you had work done was a year ago. It doesn't seem that long ago that I saw the gorgeous orange of the feathers and drooled over the composition. Seeing it finished like this is mind-blowing! The colors are amazing - over the top but not a mess. I appreciate that the design is not as busy as some backpieces which IMO sometimes has a stronger impact. Boy, the more I hang around here, the more back-crushes I have, and this is one of them.

Congratulations on an amazing piece, and for finally being finished!

looking real nice @spb420! mind if i ask about the mums on your arms? the left arm looks to have a thick outline and the right doesn't. but there's a drawing on the table above you that looks to be the right arm with the outline. is that something that's gonna be added?

[spb420]

The drawings is indeed the right arm. The outlines are the same in both. The weird angle and the fresh color make them appear different.

Kelly Edwards at Element in San Antonio. He's ridiculous.

Time for color!!

Am I color blind or something? I'm missing the color.

Looks great though.

[Isotope]

Sorry, I meant next session. There is some red in the cloud shading, but it's hard to see in those pics.

[Scott R]

@ironchef fucking ridiculous @Isotope never heard the name but that is killer work

I figured it was time to contribute! I've really enjoyed all your pics/post the last couple years...good stuff.

This is my mountain goat piece. I'm into it 60 of estimated 70hrs but who we kidding...I'll keep going. I've been flying down to Guru Tattoo in San Diego from the Pacific Northwest every other month since March. The artist is Aaron Della Vedova. I've been doing two 6 hour sessions each visit accompanied by a miserable flight home. I had an existing shoulder piece/mountain scene that he tied into.

I'm heading down next week for another beating. This is where I'm at so far...

Incredible work, and likely the best second post on LST ever!

[Rustyrider]

Sweet man! Keep us posted on progress.

[Glenn]

Progress! Here's a couple shots from the trenches. I didn't get many cleaned up photos due to catching my flight home. More to come...

[Isotope]

Sorry to spam guys... but I am so stoked with how the scales are turning out (Eastern diamondback, Crotalus adamanteus).
