Today I won the Ink Lottery !

[mrchen]

today I won the ink lottery. I told you I was going to try and really collect some pieces this late winter. Got to get these guys before they hit the conventions.

Today at noon I was booked by Russ Abbott of Ink and Dagger,
Then I got my reply from Sean Herman, we are on, just got to firm the day.

Then the ultimate call, Brandon Bond has approved me for an appointement !

Its over, I have died and went on to heaven, dont send flowers, just send money for more ink!

I have reached a new plane, I am in nirvana

careful what you ask for!!!!!hahahahahaha thats awesome bro

[mrchen]

I cant beleive it, I may not come down for days, weeks, months

[MisterGrau]

Have you given Brandon an idea of what you are interested in?

Oh and Congrats and ROCK ON!!!

That would be so amazing.....

Btw, I think my wife is on to me. She looked at me today and said "I know why you want to get Mr Face (that is what she calls my tattoo (avatar)). You want more tattoos, but you agreed to keep it to two pieces". Damn that woman is smart. That's why I love her.....

Brandon asked me to submit and idea and leave him wide open, I am surely fine with that, his judgement is beyond my questioning.
I am requesting a skull/snake combo, this will be on my outer left lower leg, with Sean Herman on the inside.

Then Russ Abbott and Jeff Paetzold on the other leg!

I proud of the All or Nothing family of artists Brandon has assembled, I think its the best lineup in the world. I proudly wear 4 pieces now with 2 more booked and there will bemore, I havent even bothered Tim Orth or Dave Tedder yet and you know I WILL.

Im not stopping with this crew till I am out of skin

I want to get tattoooed!! [pout]

What's Russ Abbott doing for you? I've talked to him a couple of times about getting my very first tattoo from him. I love his work and the general positive vibe his pieces have. Keep us updated with pics, etc.!!!

Russ has told me he is closed to new clients. However he and I had spoken several times a year ago but Russ was too busy building his new shop. I begged and pleaded like a kid at christmas trying to get a pony and it worked.

Sean Herman asked me today at lunch, "how did you get booked with Russ"?

Russ is doing an owl with a twist, I am sitting january 31st, I'll post pics just as soon as I can.

I made my deposit for Brandon and Sean, I am so stoked.

These guys are the BEST IN THE WORLD

That is awesome bro! I won't be getting any new ink until Feb 2nd. Damn I need my fix!

Congrats on all the good news!
