When I'm not tattooing at the Tattoo Alchemy Studio...
I'm here at my private studio where I do most of my studying, drawing, shodo calligraphy, Japanese & Chinese watercolor and ink painting. On the opposite side of my studio (from the painting tables + easel + calligraphy area) is the office side, where I have a desk, computers, a worktable, art reference bookshelves and a light-table. So aside from fine art—I also manage my businesses (fine art & tattooing), do research, graphic design, and do most of my major decision making from here too. I spend a lot of time in my art studio.

It's my sanctuary.

It's pretty rare for me to move away from my beloved native Google apps and services. But I recently put my Google Reader out of sight, and synched it with my Feedly news reader to give it a try. I like Google Reader, it's my aggregator of choice, and I've used it for years, but it was the minimalistic look of Feedly that piqued my interest. It has that clean and simple, modern look that I like.
