This is what I got finished today - Kylie sat like a G as always - I had done all the outlines the last session, this session we got more than half done, only one more sunflower to do, and the rib cage. All done in greywash, will heal to some nice subtle grays. Go big or go home! 🔥🔥

Someone I respect highly as an artist told me that I needed to saturate this piece more - so I did. I was supposed to do the background, which is going to be VERY cool, instead, I ended up doing almost the whole astronaut again - and I am glad I did. The arms and hands came out 🔥🔥🔥 - the glass on the facemask now looks reflective, and I am happy with this - NEXT comes the background - which will definitely be other worldly! Stay tuned......

Javi just leveled up with a hammerhead sticker! Now this thing is ridiculously slick! I mean, sticker tattoos are cool and all, but a legit hammer - hammerhead shark? That's just fin-tastic! 😂 (Here we go with the corny again - I'm on a roll!) This sticker is 🔥🔥🔥
