Rising Dragon Tattoos

This is just hardcore! I love the wings on the back and the heart in the middle but then you have the unique color and design of the wings and a flaming cross plus roses and a green vine side figure 8 that sits almost like a crown around the heart and of course you got a little blood... this is just fucking amazing!Now this is just hilarious and really well done. I've never come across a snake lady tattoo, pretty awesome.Amazing. Brilliant. I mean just look at it! That's one wicked tree.Something really unique about this. A Celtic inspired swan with big bold colored flowers.I'm not a big fan of the position and width of these wings but what I just love about this is the way the artist swirled the colors of blue and purple. Now that is sexy!Now I could never get something like this for some reason my mind won't allow it but I can appreciate it's design! I love bat tattoos.I've been looking for a flowery vine that I want to get along my side and right hip and seeing this black rose vine has given me some great ideas! I love all of these but this last scorpion tattoo really makes me mad cause I already have a scorpion tattoo but it's not as lovely as this... now I need to think of where I want my second scorpion tattoo!

Artist of the Month: Nick Gentry

Wow. WOW. wOw.

Amazing. Brilliant.

Insane with tallent.

Nick Gentry is an artist I'm going to be following and obsessing about for a long time. I feel it my bones, this artist is one to watch out for! I have a bunch of art websites I browse through a few times a month for unique and funky art to drool over and share on here and thanks to a great website called:

recyclart.org

I've made my own discovery of his work. It's completely unique and his pieces have a dark and dramtic feel to them while still looking comerical. I feel it has a kind of graffiti inspired grunge/working class/fantasy vibe about it.

He's so talented I'm more than a little bit jelaous!

If you check out his flickr web page you can see lots more of his artwork that will most likely cause your heart to skip a beat!

Get Up Offa That Thing

Nothing can quite cure the morning blues or most any kinda blues like some James Brown music!

Artist of the Month: Anders Krisar

I'm typically drawn to art that has a lot of color and abstract qualities but I like what I like and it all doesn't fit into categories or traditional mediums. Which is why I have to pick Anders Krisar out of a few other artist I've discovered this month because it's so different. Idk what the concept or ideas behind these pieces are but when I think about it myself I've come up with a few theories on the message behind them. What makes us who we are? Is it our skin? Is it what we do, or whats done to us? Is it our scars or our fears... What holds us together? Krisar's work is focused on parts of the human body but even as realistic as his sculptures are it's not the part that lingers with you. It's not the form of the object... the body parts. It's that everything is a part of us... the pieces that hold us together and things or people that try to tare us apart aren't usually visible when you look at someone those things take shape on the inside. I wonder what we all would look like if we had our own body sculpture pieces to show those things that have made us who we are...

Easy On The Grunge

Cool Cover Art

Just some unique and inspired cover art that caught my fancy recently!

Lighter then Words

The Constellations

I mad as hell right now! Last week thanks to my favorite music website indierockcafe.com I was turned onto this band The Constellations and they're so fucking awesome it physically hurts to acknowledged that in February of this year they performed in Covington Kentucky which is my area man I live in Cincinnati but Covington is like one of Cincinnati's playgrounds and shit man I didn't even know about them then and I missed them being so close. How often does a band I like get that close to me where I could freaking walk and bus it to their show... NEVER! They better come back or I'll be crushed!

Seeing Demons

Do you believe that every human has a gift? A special trait or awareness that connects them to dimensions outside of our limited 3d? I don't know about everyone but I can see/read people. Sense things about them, more on a scale of good or bad vibrations. I know they say never judge a book by it's cover and first impressions can be wrong... yet 9/10x I'm right. I can sense when someones got a demon that rules over them, sense if someone has no good in them at all. Read someones eyes and know they're tortured or ignorant. When I'm wrong it's always one way, it's that I thought someone was good or mostly good and they weren't. I got good vibes and they're eyes we're movable like water, grass, honey or mud... but the story goes that the truth unfolds and the serpent slithers out of them and bites me. The bad never come back... not to my knowledge but the good are easily molded and corrupted.

It hurts the most when you realize you were wrong, that where you thought was once a halo are now horns and eyes that once linked to a soul are now empty and hard with no reflection. When you witness something like that it changes you, makes you a middle man or an in betweener. Cause once you see evil it sees you and you don't come back 100% pure from that. I see my own eyes changing. One's good, one's bad. You can't have it all either way you go. I'm attached to my consciousness and it's drawn to both sides. I can see demons and sense pure light but I'll never be either. Maybe once I was but like with most children the world stomps it out of you untill it's gone or you forget it's there. I'm on a mission though to keep my eyes open and point out the darkness from the light to those that can't see.

Late Night Mistakes

Don't you just love people?!? I mean some remind you to laugh and be silly-er and others reward you with knowledge that even on your worst day... well things could be worse :) haha

People also let us know that if your a light weight or are a black out drunk that you should avoid being around tape, markers... & people while drinking! lol
