Italians

Our dear friends Franco, Monia, Marco, and Luca visited for the NY tattoo convention.  We took them to our most favorite restaurant Freemans.  It was a really great night.  It made me super Rome sick.

Dinner with Mark Harada

Sweety & I had dinner plans with Mark Harada so naturally we ended up having dinner with 20 people.  

There were more than a few photos taken.  These are the highlights.  Ethan Morgan and Claire Bergeal are always fun dinner company!

Paper airplane tattoo

I did this small paper airplane tattoo for Lauren, one of my favorite customers.  She got it to surprise her boyfriend who is stationed in Qatar.  So happy to do it. 

A visit from Jack

I finally got to meet this little guy - Jackson Wright.  He is the sofia coppola of babies - calm, fashionable, observant, one of a kind just like his parents.

Show tonight at Eight of Swords

Eight of Swords, my new shop,  is also a beautiful gallery space.  Every month they change the show and throw a blowout in honor of the new artist/artists featured.  Tonight is one of those events,and from what I hear, they are not to be missed.

The paintings are really cool, there will be beverages, and me of course.  Come by and say hello and check out the new shop!  Also if you can't make it tonight, the show will be up for a month, come by anytime but Tuesdays.
