The good news is that I sat 5+ hours today to complete my sleeve of Freed. It incorporates the Cooley bird in stained glass and parts of a couple of Freed paintings and DBT album art.

The neutral news is that we only got black done today, and not even all of it. This will be a 2 or 3 session project.

The bad news is that the camera battery is dead, so I can't post any pics yet.

My tattoo artist (Barry Walker of Inkwell in W-S, NC) has outdone himself laying this thing out, and as usual is nailing Freed's style on skin. I can't wait for it to be complete!

Like I said before, Barry put everything together beautifully. It's going to be hard to wait to heal so I can get back for another round!

Wow, that's pretty incredible. The cool thing about that is--its a "band tattoo" but it isn't, ya know? I love the Cooley Bird stained glass. Are you getting colored like the tee design?

Finished the color yesterday. Another 4.5 hours for a total of 13, not including the Dirty South, Cooley Bird, and Dr. Strawboss pieces already there. Just a month to heal up, an hour or 2 of touch-up, and the fucker is done!

Thanks, Kev! Barry has really outdone himself this time. And there is no shame in any Cooley bird.

That will be cool. It's definitely worth the wait for a good artist. Who's your tattoo artist?

Wow, his portfolio is quite impressive. No wonder there's a long wait to get on his schedule. Can't wait to see a pic of the finished product!
