I am rested and rejuvenated and ready to #werk! I’m serving some peace, blessings, and gratitude for being able to work with such beautiful things that come from nature, while imagining that my @patmcgrathreal black eyeliner is giving me a very severe winged eye, while flexing on you hoes with my baby bicep letting you know that I am a boss ass bitch who knows how to engage her core to make it look effortless in spite of not shaving, getting a hair cut, and gaining 6 lbs on vacation (which really means 9lbs, which really means 12lbs ), I digress, but I am literally serving Auntie Deola Demimoore who is werkin a good old Black English sophisticated wig with a very strangé fascinator to elevate the level of quirky, color forward, ready for the summer, and bob sophistication, with a side of spiky thistle cause she is prickly and not to be played with cause ghosts are real and the devil is a lie kind of realness… #imconfused #soami #dontworryaboutit #getintit #stop #smelltheroses #imean #peonies #Deola #demimoore #rightontopofthatrose #RIPpatrick #welcomebackmaurice #thankyou #blessed (at Bloom & Plume)
My co-worker asked me to draw peonies and magnolias for her, so I did. I am very happy with the result. I also reworked my Blackbeard but he’s not ready yet. #zeichnung #drawing #peonies #pfingstrosen #magnolias #magnolien #pigmentliner #pigmentlinerdrawing #atwork #Icancreatestuffatworkandiloveit #SchöneshatVorrang #perksofmyjob #myart #art #kunst #grafik #lineart https://www.instagram.com/p/CcnvFkIM5hb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Breaks and pauses to reorient the pieces with yourself aren’t stagnation if you remember to keep moving forward after the rest. There is always a special place in me for new beginnings that keep room still to celebrate the old, and with each new iteration I like to believe something has been made better. More understanding, better introspection, and the capacity to help others accept change as well.
This, for me, is a return to the nostalgic spots that the Summer is no stranger to breathing life into. Movement in poise, a balance of both motion and static, here’s to the Summer nights and the comforts of Fall to follow. I love you all, and thank you for continuing to indulge these images of mine <3
Some #peonies I added onto Rachael’s thigh in #chicago. I gave Rachael this nick name of “Shakey McGee”. Thanks for sticking it out Rachael. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ✈️ more dates coming soon . #jaketongdotcom #tattoo #tattoos #asian #flower #portlandtattoo #neotrad #tattoodesign #peony #tattoosnob #japanese #nerdlife #inkedlife #sketch #colortattoo #nerd #neotraditional #drawing #tattoolife (at Chicago Tattoo Arts Convention) https://www.instagram.com/papatong/p/BvfP-DcFRhY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=obinnpbdtnnz
