Spent the afternoon drawing a kangaroo to send to a friend in Thailand, she absolutely loves kangaroos. The background will be gum trees in the morning mist. 100% pencil art.

Jordan has collected quite a few quirky tattoos off me over the years and today he added a few more, the question is not why, but why not 😂
Variety is the spice of life and all his tattoos make him smile which I think is awesome, keep smiling mate.
Thanks for the skin Jordan,
cheers, James 😊

Just finished drawing this Ned Kelly piece for a dear friend in Thailand, all pencil and approximately ten hours work.
I dare say there wouldn’t be too many original Ned Kelly drawings in Thailand 😃

Who fancies a new tattoo this Saturday, or do you have and old or badly applied tattoo you need fixing or covering, I have some spare time if you have some spare skin. 😃
Due to the insanity of fuel prices I’m offering a $50 discount today and for the whole of May/June to help with travel costs or free pick up and return to Bairnsdale station.

What an experience it was getting my Sak Yant tattoo, the studio was everything I envisaged it to be. Sitting on the floor getting the tattoo initially on a tiny metal stool, it was just as uncomfortable for me as it was getting the tattoo.
Nearly four hours of face pulling fun culminated in me now wearing a wonderful tattoo that was applied by a Sak Yant master tattooist.
Being tattooed by someone who didn’t speak a word of English was an experience in itself, the blessing of the tattoo after it was completed was wonderful, all in all it was an amazing experience, one that I’ll never forget.
