UPDATE: Kevin's Dream Catcher Completed Tattoo

Here is the finished version of my friend Kevin's Tattoo.  With Kevin's permission, I will post a photo of his arm once it is complete.  At some point (also with Kevin's permission) I need to post what his arm looked like before.  More on that later...

My post with my initial drawing of the Tattoo is here.  As you can see we shifted the whole dream catcher structure over.  The preexisting paw is very close to Kevin's arm pit and as I understand it, that is a very sensitive area for tattooing, so to avoid causing him too much pain, we shifted everything over.  :-)  We also changed the web design a bit to give it more organic, less structured feel.  I added the border around his existing paw to make it look like a large carved piece of turquoise attached to the dream catcher.  The feathers are modeled after the feathers of the Great Horned Owl.

UPDATE:

Here's Kevin's Tat, fresh from the shoppe! I'll post another once it has healed completely.  :-)

Weekly Mandala: Plutostorm

Here is a face for the bombshells Pluto has been dropping into my life over the past year.  Cool energy, but volatile and corrosive.  A strange combo to be sure, but from what I've experienced so far it seems to be a highly solvent influence.  It has been dissolving the old structures of my life one after another with alarming regularity.  More on Pluto in Capricorn.

From this point forward, I'm going to try to post a weekly Mandala.  They are a good way for me to decompress and rekindle my zen...and I haven't done any in quite some time.  I'll try to avoid getting too repetitive with them.  I know after awhile they can all look the same.
