Kristine trusted me to turn an old tattoo into something that actually feels like her.

Another session in the books with @Annekacamille — we’ve been building together for over a decade now.
This lower leg started as individual pieces collected over time, each one holding its own story. Now we’re finally tying everything together and giving it the cohesion it deserves.
Fox above, raccoon below, movement through the snake and skull — all brought together with soft illustrative shading and flow to make the leg read as one complete composition.
There’s something special about clients who trust you year after year. Watching a collection evolve into a unified piece is one of my favorite parts of this craft.
More to come as we keep connecting it all.

Kyleigh chose this English-inspired dragon from one of my original flash designs to represent her roots.
Dragons have always carried that symbolism of strength, protection, and lineage — and this one wraps naturally with the shoulder to keep the movement alive from every angle.
I love when flash finds the right person. It hits different when the design already has intention behind it and then someone connects to it for their own reasons.
Bold scales, heavy contrast, and flow that fits the body the way it should.
Thanks for the trust, Kyleigh 🐉

Another session with Konnor — slowly building this sleeve piece by piece.
A hunter at heart, so we leaned into symbolism that speaks to that connection with the land. A weathered skull, florals pushing through, and a Vegvísir carved in as a reminder to stay the course. Life, death, direction — all part of the same cycle.
This one’s about respect for the wild and the understanding that nothing is wasted.
We’re taking our time with this sleeve and letting it evolve naturally. Always grateful for the trust to build something meaningful over multiple sessions.
More to come.

Freehand arrow for Konnor 🎯
Built directly on the arm, drawn on and shaped to move with it. Konnor’s a hunter, so this one felt right keeping it organic and intentional—letting the design grow naturally instead of forcing a stencil.
Always grateful when clients trust me with the process and give me the freedom to draw. I’ll be sharing some of the progress shots too, so make sure to scroll 👉.
Thanks again, Konnor 🙏

Pulled this one straight from my original flash sheet. A small armored guardian finding its place over time.This piece (and a few others) lives on a consistent client I’m genuinely grateful for—someone who trusts the process, collects slowly, and happens to be an artist themselves. That kind of exchange always feels right.
A handful of characters from this series are still available. Same world, same hand, waiting patiently. Thanks always to those who come back and let the work grow.
Thanks @remmis_artwork

The legendary battle continues. 🔥🐉
Wrapped up this full Dragon Ball forearm sleeve for Robbie, featuring the icons: Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, and Cell. Every character brings a different energy to the piece, and I loved capturing that classic manga contrast throughout the whole wrap.
Which saga was your favorite? Frieza, Cell, or the Saiyan saga? Let me know in the comments! 👇

The Caption
Eyes on the prize. 🦅💨
There’s nothing quite like the flow of a soaring eagle to work with the natural lines of the chest and shoulder. We went for a high-contrast, illustrative realism look to make sure those feathers really pop.
Huge thanks Mike for sitting like a champ for this one!

Nature reclaimed. 🌲💀
Loved working on this fusion of organic root structures and bone. There’s something timeless about the "Dark Forest" aesthetic—blending the fine details of the skull with the chaotic growth of the branches.
