Geisha Art:Sakura Geisha Painting No1

At some point last year I featured a picture in my blog of some cherry blossom flowers I was making from modelling clay - they looked more like 'Skips' than cherry blossom at that point...

Well, here they are now 'in situ' as it were... ...on the frame of the Sakura Geisha painting I have been trying to finish for the longest time. And now she's done!

Now all I need to do is sand, prime and paint the wooden frames I've cut for some of my smaller pieces, and they can all be framed and hung on the studio wall too...

Seriously wish I had more time to spend on my painting, It's a great way to relax from tattooing...

But then being busy is THE best kind of complaint to have I guess!

Back at last!

Vast amounts of business (read busy-ness) outside work (mainly involving painting and decorating!) have taken over my life and kept me from doing any of this lovely internet stuff for ages.

Finally back to it though - got myself a new 'business' facebook page (see the 'Like' box and button on this blog) called (appropriately enough) 'Venus Flytrap Tattoo'.

Am now back to redesigning my poor ancient website, tattooing with a vengeance (!) and drawing up some beautiful new customer designs as well.

Also got my lovely Sakura geisha painting finished too - as you can see...

So prepare for a renewed internet presence on all levels - which will make for an interesting read because I've got loads of exciting Japanese and floral tattoo work on the go these days...

Saturday evening and a good chunk of Sunday were spent making these babies. Looks more like a cake decorating class than painting/ sculpting. But it's all part of a cunning plan. Well two, in fact.

Stopped painting things pink in the nick of time to get ready for Donna and Johns Wedding.

Meant a late night and have two big tattoos am working on today so it was a sober one!
