I’ve had a fair few questions regarding my drawings lately (both here and on IG),so i thought it might be easier to explain my-very straight forward-process this way,rather than via individual replies…
First off,my drawings are far from being perfectly symmetrical!
I’m not a big fan of using too many tools,as i personally always prefer a slightly ‘organic’ look…
I do draw everything in pencil first though,and i also use a template to help with circles (see top right).I usually draw a fine pencil line down the middle of the paper to assist in keeping things even for my larger drawings,and a cross for Mandalas.However,i stay away from complicating grids etc…that just confuses me more than anything else,to be honest:) When inking,i use the pencil drawing mostly as a guide-i tend to change things a bit as i go along.
(Bottom pics:initial pencil sketch on the left,finished drawing on the right)
And one more thing-i work very,very slowly;) …….
Any more questions,please just ask-i’m more than happy to share my 'secrets’:)
Thanks everyone

Client Spotlight for Throwback Thursday
Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie
In 1998 I tattooed Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie at my studio on Carlton Street in Toronto. BBT asked me to renovate a few old tattoos that he wanted covered. Angelina requested the latin words “quod me nutrit me destruit” (what nourishes me destroys me) on her abdomen.
Billy Bob returned a second time for more renovations of old tattoos on himself and a tattoo that he gifted to Cate Blanchett’s husband, Andrew Upton. Cate came to my studio to watch while I finished her husband’s tattoo.
In 2002 Billy Bob flew Raven and I to Montreal where he was filming Levity. He requested that I design a bird of prey incorporating his initials and the names of Angelina, their adopted son Maddox, and BBT’s two sons, Harry and Willie (named after Willie Nelson). While in the chair, Billy Bob told me that he and Angelina fell in love in my studio. Their tattoos sparked a whirlwind romance and marriage that put them in the media spotlight until they separated in 2003.

The use of exceptionally vibrant colours made this a fun and challenging tattoo.

Today’s #tattoo was a great session with Jason. I always have a lot of fun when Jason comes over. I hope these images give you a good idea of the tattoo from different views. Today’s session was focused on the lowest area from elbow to wrist.
