The Nautical Girl

I put some new paintings on etsy. I'm not sure if all of the postal work pays off, but I am really happy to have sold some stuff.

I am doing a tattoo apprenticeship, and getting ready for the departure (again!) or my love, back to the cold place next month. Antarctica. I am being left for a whole continent, but I will stay here and learn to tattoo, which is my lifelong dream.
I know, weird for a romantic unicorn girl. And one who pretends to be proper so well! All the blood and skin and ink. I am so inspired though. What an amazing canvas.

Pretty much the best tattoo artist in the world right now. Looking at this site will RUIN you, and every tattoo you see after will look dull and contrived. BEWARE!!!
The artist known as Shige


Really good:
Cat Power- The Greatest (buy this album. It is WONDERFUL.) (musica)
David Mitchell- The Cloud Atlas (like a Decemberists song come to life!) (a book)
Constantine (a movie with yecch, Keanu, but REALLY cool. I like portrayals of magic where they use random household things as divining tools. For instance, in Constantine: a pot of water and the cat of a dead woman.)

Constantine was my first exposure to Tilda Swinton's talent. She played Gabriel.

Hey.
I tried calling, but missed you.
I'm curious to hear more about Illustration Friday. You had told me about it once I think, or perhaps I read a post about it. Am I remembering correctly in thinking that it's a group thing, where multiple people create illustrations for a chosen topic?

When you're past your apprenticeship & have become a master, do let me know. I may have a job for you.

Oh wait I found it. Dur.

Though they do mention to avoid sending drawings that could offend others. That's maybe 50-60% of my sketchbooks. If I do this it will probably be offline.
