The Panda Warior! 12 x 12 Acrylic on masonite. Finished this for a show on comming up next week. It's an Asian themed show so the next few paintings I do will be some of the backlog of Japanese stuff i've had sketched out. Great to prep for my trip to Japan in March!

Just finished this painting last night. It won't be part of the tits and tats calendar set since it’s a different format. Then again maybe I can use it for the cover or something. We'll see.

I knocked this out in about 6 or 7 hrs. I think I’m going to do a few more with the tattoos peeling off the figure. This one is 12x12 on Acrylic board. Sorry no stop motion of this one.

Skull Samurai - "Shi" Tattoo

Skull Samurai - "Shi" Tattoo , originally uploaded by slushbox.

This piece has been in the works for about a year and a half or so. It was done using the art from my "Shi" painting.

The owner of the tattoo saw the painting and wanted to get it tattoo. I ended up drawing his other sleeve as a "Day of the Dead" bandito which later becase the painting "Merchant of Death".

Prints of the painting are available on Slushbox.com the original is sold and long gone.

Here it is, the final in the set of 9, maybe. Someone had to go and suggest that this series be made into a calendar. So, I may do 3 more to make a full 12 parts. We will see...

Oh, me so Oni!

Here goes number 8 in the master series, part 2 for the Japanese set. I finished this up at 2 in the morning.. here it is 8 hours later.

I particularly like the shiny boobies in this one. I should probably change the header on this site from “The Occasional Boobie” to “A Month of Nothing But Boobies”

Here is part 4 of 9 I've been cranking these out in a few hours each. Actually since I've been doing the time lapse of them I have an exact time to complete and they have been all within 9 minutes of each other in total time so far. This is the first in the Japanese 3 part set.

Here is the time lapse video:

Slue-Foot Sue

Slue-Foot Sue, originally uploaded by slushbox.

There was a Disney cartoon called Pecos Bill that was one of my favorites as a kid… swapped the catfish with a Koi but you get the idea..

Now, Pecos Bill had a way with wimmen. No doubt. He had dozens of wives during his time. But his one true love was Slue-foot Sue. She was his first wife - and she could ride almost as good as Bill himself.

Bill first saw Slue-foot Sue ridin' a Koi fish down the Rio Grande. She was riding standing up and holdin' on with only one hand sose she could take pot-shots at the clouds with her six-shooter. Was making a right pretty pattern too. Bill jest went head over heels for her. Proposed on the spot. They was married the next day too.
Sue was dressed in one of them white jobs with the large hoops. Looked plumb beautiful. Right after they was married, Sue insisted Bill prove how much he loved her by letting her ride his horse, Widow-maker. Bill couldn't talk her out of it, so Sue climbed on that great devil of a horse.

Well, Widow-Maker bucked like a maniac, jest as you'd expect. Sue was thrown off - clear up to the clouds. Luckily, Sue was still wearing her springy hoop. When she hit the ground, she bounced up again. But we all soon realized Sue couldn't stop bouncing. She bounced so high she kept hitting her head on the moon. She was crying and crying buckets of tears, and throwin' kisses to her new husband. But even he couldn't stop her bouncing.

We waited three days and four nights. Finally, even Bill realized that she was gonna starve to death before she stopped bouncing, so he had to shoot her. It was a cryin' shame. Well, time heals wounds, and Bill finally got married again. And again. And again. But I'm tellin' you, he never felt the same about another woman as he felt for his first wife, Slue-foot Sue.

Gieshas & Dragons & Foo Dogs Oh My!

Japanese Leg Sleeve Tattoo - Giesha, Dragon & Foo Dog, originally uploaded by slushbox.

This was a leg sleeve project I worked on for a client of mine he had a small tattoo to cover on his ankle where the rock is. We actually did the foo dog almost a year earlier then did all the other stuff.. I would have preferred the geisha on the outside of his leg not the inside but.. just a lesson kids always plan ahead!

Samurai Girl tattoo

So this guy came in with these sick Deseo prints and wanted to make them into a tattoo so I combined a few of the best features of the paintings and came up with this. I think it came out pretty sick, definitely one of my favs.
