Took a razor to yesterday's sketch book practice and trimmed them. Put them in this frame and feel happy with them again. Stronger as a pair for sure. I will be doing a bunch of test and practices with this set of colors in various shades. I have a canvas with a few marks on it that will be finished at some point with this pallet of colors.

Just like printing your photos can give you a whole new perspective. Sticking your work on the wall or in a frame can open your mind up a little bit. Live with it for a while is what i was told to do.

It's a mess inside my head and trying to develop a path to connect that mess to the paint has been wonderful and frustrating at the same time. I looked at these today and finally feel like I have made a small step towards that connection.

Went back in my lightroom app and said what haven't I posted on Instagram yet.
How about Eric. sacredhearttattoo.hanover.pa
Apparently we share a similar look. I Had a woman ask me about when I tattooed her a one day when I was walking through a thrift store. Anyone who knows me well, knows I have no memory for people's names and faces. While I was quietly panicking in my head I tattooed some poor soul while I was blacked out or on one at some point years ago. The other half of my brain went in to Columbo mode and figured out she was thought I was eric.
As Eric is a solid dude and handsome like me I took it as a compliment. I obviously took all the credit for her fantastic tattoo and told her about my shop sacredhearttattoo.hanover.pa and told her to stop in any time. 😉
Go give him a follow and keep up with everything he has going on.

Cropped in about 300%
Still get surprised at how well the XH-2 and the 33mm work together sometimes.

Chasing the light and all the colors that come with it. 🌈📸
