what kind of water colors do you use? im broke and cant afford decent water colors so all my paintings end up choppy, not very good with blends, the only good tube of paint i have are my black and red. and also will you be at any conventions in the near future? wilmington nc? philly?
for black i use pelikan drawing ink. for my colors i use dr martins
i’ll be at lots of conventions just check my website mykechambers.com
and i happen to have had a cancellation for friday at the philly show.
i wanted to get tattooed memorial weekend in may. will you be in baltimore that weekend?
i think i’ll be in Cincinnati but i’m not sure. is that when the Baltimore show is?
Did you ever think, back in the day,riding a 48 you would ever be here?
never in a million years…but i sure wouldn’t mind riding a 48 right now…minus the cold that is. hahahah!
I've seen most of your video of your work, and I've got to say, you are truly amazing. I'm astounded every time I see a tattoo by you. I hope I can get a tattoo done by you one day. My favorite tattoo artist hands down. <3
i really don’t know what to say to that other than thank you!!!!!!!! that’s really sweet
I'm trying to follow you, but apparently Tumblr doesn't want me to!! I love your work though =)
aww well try again. tumblr can be stupid sometimes.
and thank you!!
What's the best way to go about drawing roses? Also, I'm having a difficult time getting my flash together for apprenticeship, may I ask you for advice?
well i’d say trace some roses like a thousand times to put it to memory then start drawing your own and add your own spin on it. i’m partial to roses that are balanced.
and sure you can ask me anything you want but it might take me a minute to answer.
Can I just say that every single tattoo you have in the gallery on your site is absolutely GORGEOUS. Like seriously, I've never gone through a tattoo artist's work without seeing one that I don't like. They're so bold and clean. God, why do you have to be in the US haha Come to the UK???
THANK YOU!!! and i’ll be in the UK later this year!!
Totally dig your work. Checked the travel dates, I'm a little disappointed there's no New York stops.. How much do you charge per hour? Or do you go by a different method of pricing? Keep up the quality work sir.
thank you! actually i’m really close to NY. like 1.5 hour drive. email me for details.
cheers!!!!!!
I find it kind of funny, I felt that your "no crying in tattooing" post was directed at least partially at the blog "tattoome" and they have ridden your jock twice since then. Kudos, good sir. I could be wrong... Peace!
actually it wasn’t directed at anyone or any blog. it was just in general. i knew it would piss some people off. i used to get upset when people copied my stuff but now i look at it differently. i’m not saying it’s cool to copy other people’s custom tattoos or copy artwork and sell it claiming you created it. (give credit where credit is due)
and tattoome has been blogging my tattoos way before i ever made a tumblr.
but thanks!
