New goal in e-life: find an animation on the internet of R2D2 doing the Mexican Hat Dance. If anyone can make that happen, let me know.

Tiny Tattoo Day: The Toonie Tattoo Project
There’s nothing like some healthy competition to get your blood pumping, right? Check out the Two Dollar Tattoo Project–an on-going arrangement I happen to find pretty fascinating.
All artists participating will be expected to create unique works of tattoo art executed with only a single needle (as in single-needle configuration, no cheating using a round or a mag for any of the tattoo!). Line-work, shading, colour… all must be executed with the same needle! The size of the final product will be expected to fill the space of a “toonie”, a Canadian two-dollar coin (approximately 28mm or 1 1/8” in diameter). The artist should utilize all of the space within the circle since in this case its not just size that matters.
The Two Dollar Tattoo Project is expected to be both a game of camaraderie as well as a professional courtesy for artists and industry people. In the original spirit of the event we request that the only monetary exchange for the tattoo is to be a shiny Canadian $2 coin but really charge what you feel is appropriate if you are not tattooing a fellow industry professional. A $2 should used for sizing of the drawing and final stencil, and MUST be utilized as original proof of compliance with the set parameters.

One dot at a time
I always end up spending an obscene amount of time whenever I start looking at work by Cory Ferguson. Between his portrait work and pieces like the one below, I can’t look away.
Take a moment (or an hour) and check out his website. Make sure you do it when you have the time, as I’m sure you’ll be on there for a while.
