Just wondering if anyone wanted to have some art done; I'm in dire need of the work so feel free to check out my albums and pass the word. Also doing trades, and willing to travel a bit if necessary...Preferably for tattoo parties if that's a concept. I also do traditional art, photo-retouching and fixing, graphic design, freelance research and writing, (I'm sort of a Jack-of-All-Trades), portraitures, etc...
Special deals or musical groups, military, Art/Educational groups and students!!
SPREAD THE WORD!
Also, check out some of my original music here on my profile playlist if you haven't already and let me know what you think.
I also love any artistic, humanitarian or educational collaborations
By the way…We are planning a move to Charleston so let me know if anyone knows of a studio space in the town applicable to tattooing privately (I prefer Japanese style, custom, personal settings over the average tattoo shop effect anyway. Must be clean and comfortable)
Still offering exceptional deals on tattoos! I may also be able to travel! Also up for some trade work for various items or services. Pass the word and give me a call with any ideas you may have. Check out my new pics and songs if you haven't already.
hello just wanted to stop by and see how you are doing since i haven't heard from you in awhile. i hope everything is going well with you. everything is going well for me. get back to me and let me know how things are with you. oh, damn, i almost forgot to tell you!!! i got this Macys shoppin card in the mail the other day, i didn't think when i submitted that short survey that it would actually work, but it did! just thought i'd let you know so you can get one before they are all gone.
I'm loving the song about the two story out house. I didn't know that you worked out at the Lincoln Log Cabin. That's pretty neat. Well I'll probably see you soon.
"Balance is implicit in the Red Road. When you're on the Red Road, you are in the center. Yet, you do not go to either extreme, and you allow both sides to exist. This is accomplished by continually postponing surrendering to temptation, whatever it may be. It is saying `later' instead of `no.'"
--Dr. A.C. Ross (Ehanamani), LAKOTA
The Sacred Path of life has a middle, a left side, and a right side. As human beings, we are designed to walk this middle path as much as we can. As we walk, we will stray to the left and to the right and come back to the middle. Straying to the left or right side is as sacred as being in the middle. Sometimes we call this straying our mistakes. We are designed by the Creator to walk to Sacred Path of life, and realize that our mistakes are the source of lessons. These lessons give us our wisdom. It is not wrong that we are tempted. What matters is what we do with the temptation.
