Special Seahorse Specimen

I've been back to work for three days now - today will make it my fourth - and my wrist is feeling waaaay better than I thought. Especially while tattooing. And that's awesome.

On Tuesday I got to work on a really fun piece on a fun client, whose tip of a giant sack of various coffees kept me going during my tightly-budgeted-recovery in my cast, when I wasn't able to work. We did some more coloring on his forearm, which depicts an old-timey scuba diver/scientist being attacked by an octopus while trying to grab a specimen jar in which he's captured a seahorse. Much fun!

Left-Handed Art and Show

I've been back at work three days now, but before we get into that I just realized I never posted photos of the Left-Handed artwork I made. While I was holed up in my house for a month with my right arm in a cast I was training my left hand, finishing as many drawings and paintings as I could. The day before my arm came out of the cast I had an art show at my house, exhibiting the ten pieces (four drawings, one collage, and five paintings).

Today I'm only going to post the pieces that sold, as other ones sell I'll post those, and then on a rainy day I'll post all ten in the entirety.  Almost all of the drawings sold at the opening, and a few people expressed interest in some of the paintings. So we'll see what happens to those.
