I'm a strong believer in the need for balance. Whether it be work, play, family, friends, hobbies, alone time, loud or quiet... we all need to practice and perfect balancing these things and much more. Well, taking the shop off of the scale has creating a little teeter totter where different things can be placed and moved around to readjust and re-balance... and it's been good. For the past couple of years I've been putting forth a lot of weekend warrior effort towards tattooing, with a strong push during the last six months when LHV was open. I think the first few weeks of 2013 have given us a chance to catch our breath a bit.
The addition of Huckleberry to our family has been a good reminder of the need to balance, since he needs so much loving and attention! He also needs exercise, which is something that Lord knows we ALL need on our scales. On Saturday, me and my bro hit the courts for the first time in a while and got in a good sweat. That was followed by a good lunch with the family and a trip to the dog park at the beach with the in-laws... which meant Huck got to spend some time with cousin Aspen!

After that, my bro must've been in a mood for a little pain, so he finished up his 2nd session on the Philippine Owl on himself. Check out the difference between the sessions...
One more session should do it!
The wife and I are currently a little dog crazy, so today we treated ourselves and Huckleberry to some free entertainment and exercise at another great dog park in the area. It's pretty fun getting to know these creatures.

As nice as the breather has been, I need to get back to work and draw, paint, draw, and draw. Not that I've been completely unproductive... just that I feel I can and should produce more. I have a full sleeve coming up that rescheduled to next weekend... definitely looking forward to that. I also drew up this little piece for my dad that I'm pretty happy about...
I've got a few other things in various stages of completion that aren't quite ready for pics. Stay tuned and thanks for reading!
