places










I do not count my riches by sum of property nor
weight of currency.
I consider myself wealthy by experience and
count my abundance by being free....

my soul is bling!~

Form

At first, form is needed.
Then doubt an inhibition must be dispelled.
Eventually, form is celebrated with joy,
And expression becomes formless

Tor always had the fire center before we started to work around it.

concept of man and woman

Artic windz


latest canvas attempt before I had left Seattle. Thought Id post it up even tho its not finished yet..
I guess A lot of my paintings are never finished. Just like many tattoos ive done. Constantly evolving and adding to the story...
Im glad Ive had the time to sit n paint. One of my favorite things to do... more to come

life process

tsunami


This painting is about mother nature calling out into the wind to whisper into mans ear, the coming tides of change is mounting high. The waves make up her garment robe. the tattoo represents a canoe sailing through the giant waves. A very real moment I experienced being in the islands. A feeling of a giant tsunami approaching in the near future. Who knows when that moment may come.
This is a painting dedicated to that thought. The inevitable awakening we all must face when we die to the body and awake into a new light.

there is only one universal goal, a gracious death with no regrets..

adaptations


I slid back smoothly underneath the grey clouds of dawn. I flew in with intent and purpose to
be back in spring rain. To cultivate the upcoming sprouts of art and inspiration I have gathered
in my last visit from the islands. Its always humbling to return to Hawaii.
Because there I realize its about giving back to the family and my community I frequently tend to.
It was nice to duck all da hype and all the static for a minute, and get back more into living.
It was good to recharge and take in some of natures MANA....

currently in Seattle bout to thrown down! New self new art. Always evolving

Big ups to my SOUL SIG family holding strong and still risin
