What I would really recomend Katz is going to these free flash sites and Downloading some of there better design and practice copy them outline for outline.
The main reason for doing this is because when you do a tattoo there's always a good chance of loosing the stencil midway through the tattooing prosess "This happens to a lot of noobs!" and if they can't copy the stecil by hand there totally buggered. So practice Practice Practice!
Yer I had a look at your designs and they are pretty good there a few parts I would change if it was my work, But yer there getting there.
I like your women designs the most, You should have a look for Betty Page designs they are still the most popular cheese cake designs to this day, And even a couple of artist make a career out of specialise in that style of designs.
Hope that helps

Thank you I will try that. Do you know who Larry Elmore is? I have his card collection and got to met him on the net. The strangest thing is he lives not 40 miles from me. He teaches classes once a year but its about $600. for a week so I wont be going , too much money and hubby would blow a fuse if I spent that kind of money on anything but a new chainsaw.I can just imagine the vein in his head swelling up just thinking about it. The ta tas in the pictures I drew freehand , I kinda like where the dragaon was heading. The girls were not ready. I gotta work on some of the horses . Gotta go kids will be here soon and dinner is tacos. and macarone. bty,never ,ever burn the macarone. Its just nasty. katz

G'day mate. How is the work on the car's monster coming on? It looks like you can see a womans face in the windshield on the left front corner. How was your weekend? Done anywood working lately? I tried to build a shelves with Gieger like contours and when I started I thought it looked ok and now I think its crappy. I looked for Betty Page designs but only found her , herself. I had no idea she was real. Lots of Betty Boop. Elmore has worked with Frazetta, I like so many others love ol Frank. The first time I ever saw his work I was in a book store in Southfield , Mich waiting to go to "beauty school " that night. I went to high school in the day and trade school at night. It was the front of a Conan book. Arnold may be his face now , but will never be the voice I heard when I read the books. Frazettas fav. work of mine is Rouge Roman. Ken Kelly the illustrator is his nephew. Hubby is gone and son is to quite , I better go see what he is doing. ttyl Katz

Hi Katz Yep she's real alright,But I thought there would be loads of pinup girl designs "they are rather popular these days!" There nothing like nostalgia Bettie at 31 Bettie at 80 "still pretty good looking! So anyway yer my monster is coming along I finished modelling and UV mapping it yesterday, So I will finish it up in ZBrush to put the final detail into it and texture map it. Then what to do with it is the question? ;D But things have become really slow with all this bullshit work for the dole I'm doing "Just never enough time to do anything really cool!" So anyway mate talk to ya soon hopefully ;D

You might want to get on online portfolio of your works to show prosective clients. Get together your body of work and organize it. With the model horses we donate some of our work to different shows and in exchange we get a full or half page ad in the shows flyers or ads. Is there a charaty or organizition you would donate some of your work to in exchange for the recognition you would get for doing the ad? I really don't know how things work in the entertanment area except for bits and pieces . One of the woman who do the model horses used to work on movies. but she wont tell which one or what she did. Said it was in her contract. I have found an artist you might like , his name is Greg Andrews and he does some fabulas bikes and women. www.gregandrewsart.com/ And some other real life stuff that is lovely. One day last week it was 70 and then in an hour it went to 29, We are about to start our tornadoe season. So I need to start getting flashlights and storing water. We get the worst tornadoes here in the spring. one took almost a whole town out around 4 years ago. All of our locust trees came down one year. They have thorns but have a lovely white flower and smell very good.better than perfume.Well the dishes and laundry wait for me. my daughter will not wash dishes for anyreason not even money. Says there dirty. ARGH! Yeah thats why you wash them!!! My mil says she will never get a husband like that and I told her it was the mans place to do the dishes , should have seen her face fall in . I am not a housekeeper and hate house work but someone has to do something sometime. Thank you for the Betty pictures , she is or was a beautiful woman. I will look again for more pictures. gotta go . ttyl Katz

Just thought I wouldl say hi and see how your doing? You never did tell me about the two fellows and the tatto. I would like to see the final picture of your Holden. How much longer will you work for the "dole" ? It just gets so quite around here when your working. Hope its a good job. Do you believe in ghosts? I do. What did they say on the X files , the truth is out there. I have been working on a horse and thinking of trying to cast it myself at home. One of the yahoo groups I am on deals with that kind of thing. I kinda miss you when you go all quite. ttyl Katz

Heres a song for you Niemmy. For some reason it makes me think of you, I think its the part about the party ? Its by BiG and Rich. Why does everybody wanna kick my asWell I walked up to the bar I laid down my platinum card Then I ordered fifty longnecks for my new friends Well the barmaid passed them out And before we chugged them down I held mine up and Said here's to us and then Well this blonde slid up to me Said that was awful sweet Then I saw her boyfriend As wide as he was tall Well he broke up our hug With a six foot, five inch shove And I found myself slammed up Against the wall
Why does everybody want To kick my ass I'm just trying to have a little fun For all the ones who can't And just because I kiss the prettiest girls And I drive my truck to fast Why does everybody want To kick my ass
Well I've never been the type To walk up and pick a fight I've always been the kind to get along I throw parties all the time And there always on my dime We drink and dance and smoke until the dawn Well my style of stress relief Sometimes disturbs the peace The police show up And cut donuts in my yard And while the Zeppelin's playing loud They run off my party crowd ---------------maybe thats it? They cuff up my wrist And throw me down so hard
Why does everybody want To kick my ass I'm just truing to have a little fun For all the ones who can't And just because I kiss the prettiest girls --------or this part And I drive my truck to fast Why does everybody want To kick my ass
And just because I kiss the prettiest girls And I drive my truck to fast Why does everybody want To kick my ass
hope you like it. Katz

I did some more work on my walking billboard tonight and he has managed to bring in more business and a bit more liveable funds,No doubt I will declare it to the fucken Howard goverment!
Because Jehovah help me if I forget a few stingie dollars "While those muther fucken barstards in power get away with millions!" God! even they had made stealing from the trash a crime,If a poor woman wants to feed her starving baby from a trash bin it's now a crime of invasion "This is totally wicked!" Jah God had a provision for the poor where they could pick the last fruits of the vine. But this demonic Howard likes to see you with out any money for eight weeks for the tinyest infraction like forgetting to phone one of his minions back! So the god damned Salvation army has to pick up the peices, forget the fact they are living in a car and stealing sustanance!

they did what ? arrested the woman? Thats sad, don't they have shelters or churches that will help? You should read about the money the contractors in Iraq are stalling and not doing the things they were hired to do. they are starting to fine and prosecute them now. I just wish they would get out of Iraq. I don't think we are doing any good and theres no use helping people that don't want our help. If it mattered maybe. But who can you believe ? Do you trust the papers that are not always credible or the news shows , you don't get enough info to make any kind of sane judgment on the place. Bush is going to bankrupt the country over there.the butt wipe. Someone said the IRS is fixing to get people on Eba over here. I guess there goes my extra money. I had stopped using ebay anyway . but I did use it for old chain saws and parts, etc. You would not believe what parts for an old saw will bring on a good day. If you get time to look , I am putting up my myspace addy . In it you will find pictures of my daughter and family . Some horses and drawings. just odds and ends. My daughter got up and sang at school last night and she was pretty good.Not loud enough but good. I was proud of her. I asked son why he did not do anything and he just said. "why would I want to" , he's just a little bit of a stinker. ok a lot. He does not like school . I would say over half of the women teachers there are gay. I think they are kinda hard on the boys, him especially. Sister is another matter she gets away with alot of stuff they get on to her bro about. Not right. ttyl Katz profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=126808337

Hmmm isin'it a pain when you get all these plans to do some work for the weekend, But Telly has has a strangle hold over you and you end up not doin bugger all, But I did manage to get my Monster modelled for the most part,I just need to do the teeth, but the devil is in the detail "excuse the pun!" ;D But if this animation test turn's out ok then we can move on to my real goal a feature length animation remake of the original MAD MAX done of course in a finked style "MAD MAX FINKED" That should do George Miller proud ;D ;D Maybe the cheap barstard could invest in it too ;D ;D Sounds pretty cool no? ;D ;D

I think it would be a very good idea , but a full length Mad Max is like a huge project for one person alone in animation is'nt it? How long would it take? And would it be full length or just one of the chase spots? I really like that idea, I can see it crusin down the road looking for badies. tounge flying out behind him droolin in the wind like a dog out the window!! Sept he is over the top ! Cool. I have bids on a horse and the girls comp went out , I know that is what happend. And another girl wants to buy it and is ready to pay but I have to give the first on time to get back to me. I know she is for real. and not pulling my leg. So now I have to sit on the item and can't do anything with it and I need the money. Any time you have kids you need the money. the stuff I use to rebuild them eats my skins up when the dust from sanding gets on it. Spent an hour cleaning my airbrush yester day. That thing just pissis me off . You know your right about the tv. I love /hate the darn thing. I fell asleep during farscape last night. Missed both of them. Patsy Cline is on the radio and singing Crazy and I love that song. I love ol Patsy. She had a sad life. then died in a car wreck. What a voice. I like Kitty Wells too ,but not as well as Patsy. Patsy does not have the caterwailing country sound. I can sing her stuff. Are you going to get a myspace spot? They have forums for members and there is a forum for animators and sometimes they advertise for jobs. or free works stuff like that but not often. There was a guy on there called SamDragaon. He had the one site that I liked the best and it was covered with different artists and he was into computers and advertising [not positive} he knew all the artists on his site. then one day he sent out a bullution that said Peace Out and his site was gone. I have talked to Larry Elmore. Seems like I have seen him about 50 times and did not know who he was. when we go to town ,Madisonville , once a month for laundry soap and stuff we would see this guy that was a dead ringer for Kenny Rogers.Same hair , everything, Mom and I would go Whats K.R. doing here in boonerville? Well that was Elmore. Frank Frazetta is still living and I want to go to his museum. Its many many miles from here. Have you heard the song , I'm not crazy , I'm just a little unwell? Its one of my faverits. Sounds just like me. I came by it honest though. Well I am heading off to the shower and life in gereal today , Hope I get something done besides cooking , and dishwashing. Sometimes I want to run away for just a few days and let them learn to do it them selves . I try to tell them they have to learn to do this stuff they are goin to grow up and leave here one day and they wont be prepared to go. The more they can do for them selves they less they have to depend on anyone else. they think I am just trying to get out of it myself. God help my husband if he ever has to take care of himself. He thinks elves put those clean socks and underwear in his drawers.Oh. and they are no less then the Keibler elves. that song by Gwen stephonie is on and all I can think of is guys in pink tights jumping up and down as they sing woho weehoo. from behind short shrubs? Love and Hugs Mate. Katz
