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!

The Human Canvas - Mas Callas

To start off 
the new year, 
the rest of the photos from 
the last session to be published in 2014. 
A lot of WONDERFUL shots - more than I needed 
for the narration of the initial session, 
though you can link 
to that HERE.


So many that are THIS close to the same, 
but each one has just a bit of an angle the other did not. 
Gonna be inking a wonderful singer-songwriter friend tomorrow. Here are these in the mean time.






















































We'll see how 
the rest of the year goes. 
Meantime, thanks for viewing, 
telling others about it, and for even 
CONSIDERING being a future canvas. 
So far, none of the canvases have been paid for 
their time. Everyone has done this (either to 
placate me, or) to simply be a part of a 
continuously evolving project.

Thank you SO much!
