New Ink!

So, last weekend I went up to South Dakota to spend a little time with the folks on my B-day and get a new tattoo as a gift to myself. I new I wanted an armband that said “ShanesArt” as a type treatment and I’d been trying to come up with something for the past few weeks. I must have changed the design about 50 times before I hit the right one. That sucked because most of them were hand drawn. The design I went with is shown below. It stung like a bitch on the inside of my arm but turned out amazing! I’m extremely happy with the job that Steve O’ at Wild Idea Tattoo did and highly recommend him to anyone looking for new ink! Light and steady hand all the way. Thanks again Brotha!

I was also honored to have my folks get tattooed on my B-day. Pops got a soccer ball that I designed to symbolize his life in the sport. It shows the ball “new” on one side and “worn out” on the other side. Moms got a one off version of my logo on her outer calf. That actually blows my mind. Talk about representin’! Thanks guys, it meant a lot to me! Plus, I had a blast! – S

Obama

Let me start by saying I don’t want to hear about anyones political views. Keep those comments to yourself. Your choice is your choice, and I don’t care to hear about it.

Now, as for the artwork, I finished the Obama piece awhile back and am finally getting around to posting it. I had been surfing the web for a bit and came across a few posters designed by Shepard Fairey of ObeyGiant and kinda got inspired. I’ve always been a fan of his style and thought I’d give it a shot but with a ShanesArt twist. I’m very happy with the outcome. Hope you are as well. – S
