Just finished this 3x2' acrylic painting based on my tattoo. At 18 years old, I got my first tattoo- a tiger on my left arm. Then at age 20 I got a yin-yang on the other shoulder to balance it out. Still, it always felt incomplete. So many years later I started sketching ideas for a dragon to wrap around the yin-yang.... A tattoo artist helped with some finishing touches before inking me up, and now I love all of my tattoos! So much so that I wanted to paint the ones on my right arm and bring them to life in full color. What will the next evolution be? 🤔

Still in Santa Barbara, but moved to a bigger, nicer, and more private studio which comfortably fits 6 students and 6 large desks :) Some classes I've taught at the studio thus far include: comic book making, graffiti, optical illusions, mazes, colors, and tie-dye!
