11.12.09 By the Time I Get to San Francisco...

Listen Up Peeeps...
I will be tattooing in San Francisco at Everlasting Tattoo from Nov 29-30th
and at Haight Ashbury Tattoo from Dec 2-3rd.
Let the masses know.

If anyone is looking to start a big piece or a piece that requires more than an hour of drawing, please email me, shelltoon@aol.com with TATTOO in the subject line, or message me though my website, Twitter or BookFace ASAP.

If you are going to be in SF hit me up or stop by and show some love.
I will have some prints for sale and only a small handful of shirts.

Best,
Tim

Bloggoween...

My wife and I love Halloween and fall.
We get to decorate and get dressed as a monster couple every year...
This years costumes will be way rad and fun. I will post pics of our costumes for sure.
Oh yeah BBC Radio1 Rocks!!!

Got to see some beautiful sunsets this past week.

Teeth molds RULE!!!

Made paper mache masks with my bro and hung with more fam and friends.

My wife made a killer veggie pizza...

Ate an awesome dinner at Beachwood BBQ...
it was fancy as the dishes were paired with beers from The Bruery.

Had a creative melt down on Sunday and got super sick a couple days after that. Ick!!!

Bouncin back is better than a bouncy hayride with candy and midgets.

Waaaay stoked to be alive and feelin creative.

Enjoy your week, life, family and friends... All of them are so precious...

If kangaroos had pants and ate spoon fulls of syrup...

... The world may be a more fun and organized place... Found out that goldfish have the worst memory...
Bi polar people should not get tattooed... The broccoli cheese soup at Quiznos is "souper" delicious.

A recap of recent happenings:
Made some beer with the entire Costa Mesa Tattoo crew at Brew Bakers in HB...
Mike, Kyle, Justin, Steve and me

Kyle tattooed a pigeon on my big toe...
I was pigeon toed for quite some time and even wore braces on my feet.

Turk and I made a new friend named Merl... He is super nice...
He even watched as Turk shaded my leg piece in... it looks incredible.

Finished the B&G version of "Lucha Skull"...
going to color this in and make some stickers...

After some inspiration...
I did my first freehand of some wings to start a clients 1/2 leg sleeve..

Tidbits of Candiness

Finished reading "Still Life with Woodpecker" by Tom Robbins today... now starting up "Tattoo Machine" by Jeff Johnson. Also started a couple of drawings for paintings and sculptures. I even braved the Street Fair in Orange with me lady, her pops and a friend. Sooo crowded and my wife almost got in a fight with a mouthy line-cutter.


"Poinsettia Poison Rain" 9"x12" watercolor and ink


My wife and her delicious corn...

One of my favorite artists worth checking out is Patrick Woodroffe... his website is http://www.patrickwoodroffe-world.com/ . His works rule. I even have one of his illustrations tatted on my foot.
