I’m a published artist

August 26th, 2008

With my recent job loss, I’ve had a little more time on my hands, so I thought it was about time I update this site a little more. Now, before you all freak out (if you hadn’t heard about my job situation yet), there’s no reason to panic… The company simply could not afford to pay me a full salary with benefits.

For the record, I was leaning towards version 3 (the blue one) and version 4 (the lighter blue and purple one) of my previous designs. At the recommendation of some tattoo artists I spoke to about my design, I’ve combined my two choices to create the look I was hoping for.
