This is all we got done today, short day for me for a Saturday! 😎 Thanks Sarah for trusting me with your artwork! We will be wrapping the "watercolor-esk" ferns around her arm, and adding 5 total watercolor-esk roses. Watercolor splotches of blue in the background - going to be a fun sleeve to finish!

"Only God Can Judge Me" black and grey flash. Skull praying hands, banner, and those cuffs - its a banger. 🔥 Working on highly saturating black and grey tones for better heals, where the tones stay solid - so I will definitely post a healed picture of this one as well. That background dark tone is actually - "extra light", so when it heals it will be a soft gray..... 🔥🔥 Thanks again Sara for coming to Cryptic Ink!

Thanks Kristen for another meaningful project. More stickers!! So this one has a lot of meaning. The saying "Because I knew you I have been changed" was written by her BF Sharon. Her step kids; Alyssa drew the flower, and Tyler wrote "For Good". I stickerized the flower, added the coloring, and lifted an edge. For the For Good we went with a holographic background, few lifted corners.... small sticker! 🔥 Definitely fun bringing something meaningful together - colors matching Kristen's personality!

Thanks Craig for trusting the process! He had that old family crest with lions and a shield, couldn't really make it out, so I just reworked it! Added the dragons claw underneath to hold it - 🔥🔥🔥

Finally starting the front wall! I have been wanting to airbrush it for a year - and in some ways I am glad I didn't - we used the space for the jewelry displays, as well as the piercings does. So, I am starting with a pierced up dragon, and going to cover that wall with all kinds of pierced up things - and some writing in my "legible graffiti" (someone called it that a long time ago) -- but it's about time! Going to have fun with this project and get some of my airbrush cravings satisfied! I will keep ya'll updated 😎
