Saw this on my buddy Dan’s blog. Good fodder for the A.M.

“You’re ready. Start making stuff.

You might be scared. That’s natural.

There’s this very real thing that runs rampant in educated people. It’s called imposter syndrome. The clinical definition is a “psychological phenomenon in which people are unable to internalize their accomplishments.” It means that you feel like a phony, like you’re just winging it, that you really don’t have any idea what you’re doing.

Guess what?

None of us do. I had no idea what I was doing when I started blacking out newspaper columns. All I knew was that it felt good. It didn’t feel like work. It felt like play.

Ask any real artist, and they’ll tell you the truth: they don’t know where the good stuff comes from. They just show up to do their thing. Every day.”

So the tattoo convention has come and gone, what a weekend. I want to thank Ian for helping all weekend and David, Sam and Jeff for making it one of my favorite conventions thus far in my career. Mission accomplished, I achieved my goal of doing some rotary tattoos. I met a 73 year old man who is my new hero. This is what caught my attention

He had this as well, been holding on to it for years.Here are some tattoos I did last weekend.
