Thank you so much @kevinrose@eli_schein@proof_xyz for inviting my work into GrailsII. It’s been a pleasure and honor to be a part of this amazing collective!
@JustinMezzell Same feels here.
Finally crawling out of a hole and ready to play but my heart just isn’t in it? Maybe it’s still too early and I’m not worthy yet.
Here’s a healed photo that Pete sent.
It’s about 3 weeks healed at this point and 5.5” total length. It took roughly 7-8 hours of tattoo time to complete. It seems like a lot of time for such a small tattoo, but you have to pack in the color for the longevity of the piece.
GM!
For the past 30 something years, my bestest friend Pete has always been there for me through the thick and thin. It was wonderful to finally create again after a long hiatus, and a great honor to drill in this portrait of him.
My favorite fellow NYC Guido.
I am still glowing from the magical time I experienced at last week's @proof_xyz event. It was so wonderful to finally meet and share smiles with my favorites irl- @marloljohnson, @akastevey_, @beeple, and @yukokosaka ✨
I’m so very grateful to those that had the patience and kindness to rough it out with me and try to keep me inspired - from floral hugs from @rachelryle to nerd chat and drawing sessions with @_DrMoonhatt4n_ and @BunnyKnight_03 . A little bit of care went a long way in helping me heal. My gratitude to you all runs deep. ❤️
