The Human Canvas - In the Recesses of the Vault


Actually, it's in 
The Vault Martini Bar.
 Down the stairs and to the left.
Though where we were stationed, 
I think that WOULD be the definition 
of a recess.


So here's Tiffany. 
Someone who became 
a friend just about the time 
she was gonna go away and become 
a Banana Slug (UC Santa Cruz).

Another puzzle piece. 
This was done a few days 
before we got into April, and I was 
sort of gearing up to do a LOT more. 
Add to that she has a brother on the spectrum, 
purple is her favorite color... it went from there. 


That is to say, we didn't STOP there.
I kept adding flowers below the puzzle piece...


Pull back for a quick shot...


Then add another flower above as well.



Add a few trailing across her back...




And then stop for a few flex-shots.



After that it's just 
a matter of adding a BIT of black...



...Making these flowers pop JUST a bit. 
I like how this one turned out. Kind of ordinary 
flowers laid out to make me think JUST a bit of Hawaii, 
and her recent trip when she got a tree of life in henna 
on her arm. I thought I might do a tree of life when I 
finally got the chance to ink her up. Didn't work 
out that way, but we were both 
happy with the results.


Thank you Tiff!
