Transitioning to the UK

2008-09-25T20:19:00.004-10:00

I write now from gate 121 in Los Angeles, it's 11:20pm right now and I am waiting to board my plane at 1:00am and leave at 2:00am.

I've been traveling since 4:00 am Hawaiian time, so if calculated I've been awake traveling for about 15hrs and I had about 4 hours of sleep before leaving Oahu. The flight to London will be another 10 hours or so, and it was actually scheduled at 9:30pm LA time, but London had some Radar issues so flights were delayed all over Europe. Yippee!

Ah well... The reason I'm flying to the United Kingdom is to study abroad at the University of Essex in England. I'll be studying art history, film, French, and Theater Comedy for one school year. I'm excited, but this traveling nonsense is tough... more news and pictures when I arrive and get settled...

I played with Photoshop to determine placement and size.

tattoo potentials

2008-05-11T22:10:00.002-10:00

here were other tattoo potentials, but i think ill stick with the monkey idea... ill be heading to check the artists and maybe get some help designing...

I am evil!

2008-04-27T23:11:00.003-10:00

My goodness gracious ! I have been a bad boy, no posting for so long!

I hope to change that. I've been busy with school and such, but I will be sharing more art and happenings now.

To restart things, here is a tattoo design I am working on. This is a birthday gift to myself (march 27) and I plan to get it very soon. Basically I wanted to incorporate the cheshire moon and something to symbolize Hawaii. Originally I was going to place this on my arm as a band, with geometric shapes adding to 20 with a cheshire moon as the focus. But I changed my mind and wanted a "monkey on my back!"

So the cheshire moon, monkey, plus a hand loose hand sign, while the monkey on my back is literally hanging loose on the moon.

it needs a lot of work, but things shall progress..
