if i could do one thing before i die...

ive been wanting a tattoo for a loooooonnnng time.  the problem being im really (eek) fussy and i want it done right.  like EXACTLY how it appears in my head. i actually can translate this from my head onto paper the problem is..well it looks like a painting.  about now, people probably think yeah well we all want our tattoos to look like that duh (??) but im talking a painting that has brush strokes and blends of colour that you only find with WET PAINT.  five years has ticked by with me still lusting silently and wanting and i have finally found THE ARTIST TO DO IT. small issue she lives in NYC ..hey sweet as i guess im booking a holiday.

ive been through her site but found a few of these just via google.  i canNOT believe her work looks like paint!! paint that is just on you..either splattered or painted on with a brush...you know the kind that washes off???  if you think im crazy just have a close close look, this woman has so many skills she is off the freaken richter scale!   

words cant really explain how i feel about this post. i want this so bad it brings tears.  maybe it might for you too...or maybe you will be like so what??  check it:



ps the image that clinched it for me is the last one.  myself? well im after a half sleeve of peony flowers tattooed 'degas' styles (but not colours).... by this chick.  not asking for much huh?



if  you aren't familiar with 'degas' below would be some of his works..ah just sublime xx

i spy with my little eye

some eye candy..

its  not normally my  'thang' but somehow these got my attention.  the million dollar question is who the heck has the time and PATIENCE to hand carve little things into the tips of pencil leads...?  Dalton Ghetti is who!  what grabs my attention more than the sculptural tip, are the funny, worn, used pencil nubs themselves?  it makes me think about the little life that pencil had - how many hours it wrote and doodled for, being loved by someone, stuck into mouths over and over forgetting the end  had a rubber attached....before becoming forever incarcerated into pencil art?  all a bit deep for this hour of the day ;-)

hola mis amigos

sharing with you some images from an inspiration folder based around mexico colours / locations / things.  it started when i crushed out on this aztec poncho here and since then i cant stop thinking about these patterns and colour combos.  dreary winter probably has a lot to do with it.  i might have to bet inspired to do some painting along these lines....

how bizaare

this victorian themed emporium is so clever.  its a modern take on victorian themed prints / booklets / pillowcases / gift card sets and even soaps.  the prints particularly rock my world...so quirky and fun..i just need a library or parlor to hang them in?
