Back to the grey. Another one from the harsher side.

blockpainting no.5

The focus here was simplicity of composition.

blockpainting no.4

A shift to the grey end. I love that grey. It’s got a slight concrete tone about it.

blockpainting no.2

For this piece, I decided to reduce the palette by removing the red.

tattoo selection 2018/2019

I’m putting these years together because by this time I’d pretty much stopped photographing most of my tattoo work.

tattoo selection from 2017

This is 2017. I think it was around this time I finally had the confidence to announce that I’d be leaving tattooing, at least for a while.

2016 was a year of good work but crummy photos!
