Paper Tats

for whatever reason, i’ve been painting a lot of tattoo style watercolors this week. heres what i did, the majority having been done in the past 24 hours.
these aren’t the greatest scans; for some reason the scanner doesn’t pick up the grey stain of the paper and it makes it white. i could use some tips on how to increase scanning accuracy if anyone has them.

More Tat Paintings

a couple more from the past day or two. the raccoon was after we hit one on the drive home from bob’s bday, my first time being in a car that killed an animal. the triclops dog is my favorite thus far:

Even More

I’ve been doing more than one of these a day and am pretty proud of the results thus far. Here is a shark, for shark week, an eye of providence since i had a small square of paper left, and a self portrait post-haircut and glasses.

Keeping it up

trying to do one or more of these a day, and a couple on some days to make up for days i miss. heres three from last week. i’m back in grand rapids now which means i don’t have a scanner (someone let me borrow one please?) so updates might be less frequent or in different medium (digital camera pics that suck).

FOR SALE

I should’ve kept up to date with these, but here are all the paintings, old and new, that are currently for sale.

To purchase, contact vass@ladisputemusic.com with which painting you are interested in.

I have suggested prices listed next to each, but am very willing to haggle/barter/trade. i’d prefer not to have to take paypal but if interested, we can work something out. There are no shipping charges or tax or anything.

Each painting is sold as is, a watercolor painting on watercolor paper with given dimensions, no frame and no clear coat. You are more than welcome to do either of those yourself for longevity.

Some Paintings from Tour

here are some watercolor paintings i did on the road in the past month. i only brought black ink with me cause i didn’t want to lose or damage my whole set, so everything was gray-scale and a few things had red hints from a pen.
i know i did more than what i’m uploading but these are all the pictures i got and they’re all with my cell phone so they sort of suck.

Paint your Date

here are a couple pictures from the paint your date party I attended Friday. I was a cynic and wore black and long sleeves so no painting was done on me, but drew on Karina, which led to me drawing on my friends and some people i didn’t know for at least the next hour. Don’t have pictures of all of them, but here’s what I’ve found from facebook so far. will update accordingly.
these are just sharpies and crayola washable markers so don’t fret.



(i did the rose not the sandwich, wish i could claim that masterpiece)


and i also repainted the side of my 8x10, since weather and the trailer and staircases and other factors had ravaged my wheatpasting one.
