David's finished tattoo/ Dot Shading and Gothic Font










Im quite happy with this tattoo. I really got to do what ever i wanted here with the composition and it worked out nciely. Used some heavy dot shading in the background. great having that texture.

Alex Kanevsky's paintings are truly genius.
He has an understanding of light and a genuine finesse that is light years ahead.
Definitely one of my favorite artist ever and a large influence on my painting.

Thomas Hooper nyc,




Near Woodstock NY.





These sculptures make more sense to me now. They remind me of the paintings by
Peter Cain - (born 1959, Orange, New Jersey; died New York, New York, 1997)







Banks turned me onto Peter Cain,
i wonder what he'd be painting now if he were still alive.
He died much too early in his career.
amazing work.


black and grey tattoo, lighthouse.



definitely a blurry picture.
