CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN

Okey.. so.. I know I've sucked updating my page lately... basically because I had so many projects going on, been away, the blog been down for a period of time, AND of course.. beeing lazy.

A lot of stuff has happened lately.. been going back to more black n' grey tattoos, realism and necro stuff.

 This is the lates portrait I did on Lars from Carlings. Roky Erickson... Thanks man! Such a cool thing to do!!!

Did some dotwork on this guy last week... so much fun!
he wanted a mandala... a long story behind it that I'm not gonna write down here... but what a cool guy!

No very often i do detailed stuff like this, but hopefully I will be able to get more work like this in the future!

enjoy!

BERLIN TATTOO CONVENTION 2011

Always so much fun at the Berlin Convention... just like last year, I travelled with one of my closest friends and a fellow artist working here in Oslo at Lucky 7 Tattoo; Nick Morte.

Like last year, since we just simply LOVE Berlin, it was more a vacation than an actual working trip. hehe...

Me in east of Berlin

Nick in east of Berlin

We were only there for 4 days, but was able to do more sightseeing then actually planned! First day we went straight to my favorite store; HARDWAX to by some vinyls that my dear neighbour at home orderes. I was able to buy some nice music and other goods myself. After that, dinner with one of my good friends FAT from Spain; and straight to The Pub with some tequilas.

Outside HARDWAX.

Coolest door in the world

HARDWAX

The next day was the first day of convention. Me and Nick was sharing booth like always. Loads of fun and so many people to talk with....

One of the coolest things with conventions is that you always meet people you know from other travels. Old friends  and new friends.

I did a poppy on this really cute girl; and some other small stuff. Nick was allready booked in,  and did a nice halfsleeve!

All in all; one of the best conventions in a while; and I am coming back next year for sure!!!

Next year is gonna be busy. &é different countries; stay tuned! The tour is on!!!!

THE RESULT OF TONIGHT

 Did some more on OnklP's lower arm today while filmimg.. some more details in the skull, the rose and some shading in the background. Starting to take some shape, but we still have a long way to go!

The whole sleeve is very spontanious.. He like skulls, chicano, roses and black n Grey. I pretty much came up with some ideas and sketches.. and here we go! A really fun project!!! Thank you for letting me do this one...

More updates will come soon when we continue.....
