There’s a new addition to the family this week at the studio. This is Lucy, or Luna, we can’t decide. Say hi next time you’re here! She’ll be hard to miss.

Here’s a shark from Michael’s ocean sleeve. The shark is a few weeks old and is still healing a little which is why it looks so rough. The blood and teeth were done today, and gave the shark this awesome look! Fortunately for Michael I learned while watching Shark Week today that sharks attack the scent of blood. So I made sure to clean him off, wrap him up, and send him home to sleep.

My friend Eric told me to stop by his friend’s new shop in downtown Phoenix, Golden Rule Tattoo. It’s smack in the middle of the newly developed art community downtown. Phoenix has it’s fair share of tattoo shops, and the majority of them are nothing special. Golden Rule opened July 3, and provides a comfortable atmosphere and friendly artists with great portfolios. I got a tattoo of the day, from Christopher Roben on my way back to LA. If you’re ever in the area check it out, get a tattoo of the day, or buy a t-shirt.
