Apprenticeship ends & a New Year begins!!

So each day brings a new lesson in life and in my work!! My tattoo apprenticeship came to an end this December2009! So that was a huge accomplishment! HUGE!!! Although I am still a lil goldfish in the industry of sharks I could not learn from anyone better than my boys!! I give thanks to Franco Vescovi and all the men of Orange County Inkhouse for throwing me over their shoulders and teaching me so many amazing things!! Last year I found many opportuniteis....even dreams i would have never imagined...only in my wildest!! With every great leap foward there are also set backs!! But in all amazing lessons learned for this new year!!

I am doing my best to keep up with all the opportunities that have been thrown my way!! Ultimately realizing I should either slow my roll or grow four more arms!! : ) Im still very young in my career and still learning the greatest lessons!! I never imagined the greatness that would have come with workin with an artist like Franco Vescovi....He is definately a man to love not just for his gifts in creating art but his gifts in giving light to the creative hearts that beat in southern califonia!!

The past few monthas I got to give thatnks to a bunch of people!! For guiding me along this wild world and inspiring me to keep pushing foward! HERE it goes!!
