General This just in (OK, I know it's old news!)! Last Gasp Publishing has come out with a full color 264 page book collecting the best of my tattoo designs! It's only $14.95, so for goodness sake, click the link below and get a copy!

Glitter Graphics are HOT! Top friend and the world's #1 designer of glitter graphics Colleen Truscott Fry has been on fire working her magic on just about everything I've drawn! You can see 'em all @ mitchoconnell.com and a smaller selection in the pic section here, but now she's even taken on designing whole backgrounds for your own Myspace page! Go to http://www.glitter-graphics.com/myspacelayouts.php?ownerID=85249 and pick one out. What makes Colleen even more of a treasure? They're free!

I'm adding all the great tattoos based on my flash in the pic section. It'll take me awhile to get 'em all up, get the proper credits, etc, but in the meantime, if you don't see yours there, please email a high res jpeg to "mitchoc@sbcglobal.net". I'd love to post it for everyone to see! Thanks!

Just ask my neighbors!), pin-ups, long walks, listening, sunsets, holding hands, good friends, good times!

   Mitch's Blurbs
About me:

I somehow have been able to make a living as a freelance artist. Big shot clients include, Rolling Stone, Newsweek, Spin, The New York Times, Time, Playboy, Entertainment Weekly, The New Yorker and Juggs. In-between paying jobs I create fine art masterpieces (I'm keeping a positive attitude) that hang on gallery walls. Also in my spare time I work on tattoo flash. So next time you're in a tattoo shop looking for something to have etched on your skin, check out the flash on the walls for some of my stuff. And, if you have a shop, why not buy one (or all) of my 3 sets today? I'm a man of simple pleasures. I love to hang in there, hang loose, hang ten and let it all hang out, keep it real and keep on trucking, do my own thing, chill out, mellow out, kick back, take care of business, keep on keeping on, get my groove on, take a load off, reach for the stars, hear where you're coming from, do what I've got to do, mellow out and rock on! Here's an animation done from my art by Dan Janssen for Less Than Jake:

Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone with a keen eye for art who wants to hire me to illustrate a logo, tattoo, advertisement, CD cover, skateboard, etc. I'd prefer someone who doesn't use the phrase, "We don't have much of a budget."

A book?! I feel so honored!  And as for Melba, she couldn't find a love like the one you and she shared, so she has put herself in permanent hibernation.
