alright i guess since i am throwing out my 2 cents on some critiques i should post one up as well..this is an AMUND DIETZEL design (woman's head) with stuff added around it..on the inside of a the knee area.....have at it...

in my humble opinion...the wiskers get lost in the design a bit/to small,not long enough ..the cig is way to small..i didnt see it the first few times i looked at it.. ..the "lips" around the mouth are kinda wierdand hard to see ..and the eye ball behind the cheek just bugs me..me personally would have thrown them out like the old crazy wolfs in the cartoons...which i just found out are the tex avery reference you mentioned...

looks like a rad tattoo man..my 2 cents would be...the head on the horse is too small...and the dust clouds could use something in them like dots or something...not too many but just something to make it "dirtier"..all in all its a good tattoo..i'd wear it

will this be open to the "public" or to just tattoers?? i know i would be stoked to get some feedback from some of the dudes on here.

a buddy i used to work with..chris spriggs...http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1686644565..took about 15 hours...about 3 years ago i think...maybe 4...

dude that ape head is insaaaannne!!!

thanks alot!!

the original singer of the dead milkmen lives up here in spokane..moved up here a long time ago, sadly he has parkinsons disease really bad..he used to come into the shop i worked at and get tattooed with important memories of his life...cbgb...dm...cool jew..stuff like that...well we were grabbing drinks one day after he got tattooed and asked if he would tattoo the dm logo on us...well after a few more drinks he was in....said it was the coolest thing that has happened to him in a long ass time...haven't seen him in awhile so hopefully he is still around and kickin...great guy with cool ass stories..here's a pic of his first tattoo ever...

i've run into that problem here...i have sold some flash to another artist who used to work with me..this artist has since moved on to open their own shop in town...put up my flash on the walls and has done 4-5 pieces from it...including letting the apprentice there do some as well...all very poor quality work for the most part...it bothers the shit outta me that they have done this to my work (not that i'm the greatest tattooer in the world)...but damn..i'm about 2 miles from their shopand the flash is simple shit..and they butcher it...makes me want to break into the shop and take it back...if i tattoo someones flash that i have purchased..i try my hardest to make it close to that piece as possible out of respect to them ya know..i know my limits to what i can and can't do.. i think it's double edged sword...you sell flash,prints,sketch books, etc...knowing that people will copy your stuff and use it to make money..it's not like the old days from what i understand where artist would send each other stencils,rubbing,tracings, etc..of their work...they knew who they were trading with...and those people would trade it off to another artist that they trusted and so on...that is an important part of the history of tattooing...but if you are straight ripping off a tattoo/drawing that you haven't paid for or traded for i think thats where the line is drawn...do your homework and redraw that shit..myself i learned my lesson..it's not worth the measly $60 i made off of the prints to see a bastardized horrible version of my work in the town that i work in....hopefully that made some sense..as it was almost a book long...haha...just my 2 cents

UMMMM....#3 please
