sfdoom asked: hi, I just had a question about that Elliott smith tattoo post of yours. The figure 8 cover, is that your tattoo? and if so does it wrap totally around your arm or does it kind of taper off at all?
It wraps around my arm. The tattoo is of the whole image, minus the silhouettes of the instruments.
Process: Day 1
Here’s a preview of an illustration of my boyfriend that I’m currently working on.
A simple drawing I did during a lunch break of my favorite photo of Jack and Meg. Just because you only have basic office supplies doesn’t mean you can’t make cool art. I used a ballpoint pen, sheet of printer paper, red magic marker, and a sharpie.
Sorry it’s such a shitty photograph, I haven’t set my scanner up yet.
I guess I’ll have to start posting more now that a few new followers have arrived. Thanks for the follows, everyone. It was a nice surprise. To the ink! It’s time to get messy.
Me.
My first tattoo (my largest, over 8 hours of work in two sittings) is one of my favorite paintings, The Angel of Meat by Mark Ryden. This was done maybe five years ago at 8th Day Tattoo in Jacksonville, Florida, by Graham (who is spectacular!). It has nothing to do with whether I’m vegetarian or not, I just love the painting. I’m an art nerd, through and through.
The strangest experience I’ve had with it was at the Evelyn Evelyn show in NYC last year. On my way out of the theater, Sxip Shirey stopped me, asked if that was a naked lady holding a steak on my arm, then proceeded to bite and fiercely gnaw (and drool) on it with his teeth. He then proclaimed, “has Amanda seen this? She has to see this!” prior to dragging me upstairs, by my arm, and showing the tattoo to both Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley. I think he said something along the lines of, “look at this crazy shit! There’s a steak on her arm!”
On a semi-daily basis, someone asks me if it’s me, to which I reply, “No, I do not have myself tattooed on myself…”
luluisgod asked: hi yeah I love your Einsturzende Neubauten tattoo.
Thank you! You are infinitely rad for recognizing it.
I was so pissed off when their US tour got canceled last year because of visa problems…
neilthomasallen-deactivated2011 asked: quick question, do you like elliot smith by any chance?
EDIT: I thought this came in the inbox in another tumblr (anon) I run, not the one I submitted my tattoo under. I accept your sass.

Either you read my comic about Elliott, you took a lucky stab in the dark, or you discovered my secret identity and saw my Elliott Smith tattoo.
Or you’re the guy at the Duane Reade on Bedford that has asked me this about ten times.
Back to art. Here’s an ocean or whatever.
barecontact asked: YOU ARE SO COOL.
Coolness is entirely subjective, which means you’re just batshit crazy for saying so ;)
I found Santa in Bedford-Stuyvesant. I MUST illustrate him.
No, I will not draw _____ for free.
Throw an ugly mask on a dude, illustrate the weird picture you took of him.
