Wow. One month after my last update, almost TO THE DAY, and I am updating the page again. When's the last time that happened?

So, what has been going on? The Halloween Massacre has come to a close, with Jason Sorrell and Vanessa Lei tieing for first and TC Downey being a close runner up. TC's work, in my humble opinion, was actually the most impressive. It was an experiment for him both in media and style that he pulled off masterfully. I hope that now, without a weekly dead-line to meet, he will create larger and more intricate designs in the same vein. Everyone had a good time with the contest, and because all three artists are in one way or another associated with Creative Oddities Studios, we got to keep our money. I'll blog about this later, I am certain.

Just when you thought I hadn't really been up to anything for a while, I go and publish The Tattoo Apprentice while no one is looking. This is a book that discusses the ins-and-outs of the tattoo industry and what you need to know as a tattoo apprentice. If you know someone who aspires to be a tattoo artist someday, this book will save them alot of headaches and makes an excellent holiday gift.

Speaking of tattoos... if you go to my tattoo flash page, you will notice some new tattoo designs and a severe reduction in the old tattoo designs. My second tattoo flash set is now out of print and my third is almost finished. As discussed in this very forum a month or so ago, I am beginning to phase out the old designs across the board and create a new line of designs and merchadise. Gone are the days of just slapping a design on anything and everything... but you will soon see what I mean.

TC is much less the slacker than I. The Ooze is strenching its weird tentacles across the internet-radio signals, infecting the clean and wholesome reality with wonderous and horrid ideas. You need to just click the link, listen to the archived shows, and then catch their next show this Saturday at 1pm EST. You also need (NEED) to visit Fear the Beast to check out the rest of the madness that TC is infecting an otherwise pure and unsuspecting internet community with. He's got the art, he's got the writing, he's even got a way to hire him for whatever misdeeds you would like to see accomplished. It only itches for a minute, but will be with you for the rest of your life.

No, I don't know what is wrong with me.

28 pieces of flash have been finished for the new set, and Jason is starting to put the sheets together. We may have the set ready for sale by the close of the year! In the meantime, check out Jason's brains...

I must have zombies on the brain... Get it? "On the brain"... ZOMBIES! Anywho, check out the first of the new set of stickers.

Thanks to these folks for their continued support...
