I got back to Billings in time to go with Taryn to get her ear pierced. Amy was still away and I’m not sure if Shane even recognized me. Then again that just seems to be how he is.

Mum talked Taryn down into only getting one hole punched through her cartilage, instead of the two Taryn was wanting. Taryn got her ear pierced pretty much in the same spot as the piecing I went out and got with Charlotte, except Taryn got her right ear and mine kept my a-symmetry in the left ear.

“Didn’t even hurt at all.” So Taryn said, perhaps coaxing for another. Of course this changed every time she bumped it.

I later took Taryn out to see the Post Secret show at the YAM (I mistakenly called the SAM a few times and Taryn begrudgingly corrected me) with Olivia. I think that both Olivia and I thought that things might get awkward with us hanging out, but really it was nice talking with her again. It had been too long. Taryn crashed pretty hard as we were hanging out though. The adrenaline from getting her ear pierced in the morning didn’t quite continue to the evening..

French underworld tattoos at the turn of the century. The man sports a tattooed mustache intended to foil the prohibition of facial hair in the Foreign Legion. The World of Tattoo by Maarten Hesselt van Dinter. I can only dream of being anywhere near that combination of badass and crazy. Though at that point the Foreign Legion was probably still the best place for criminals to get their record cleaned so perhaps he is as well quite legitimately scary upon all of that. I find myself flipping back to this page time and time again to romanticize the French underground from around 1900. Give him an accordion, a beret, and some braces. Prostitutes who could easily kill you if you ever come up short and tattoo the names of their ‘actual’ lovers between their breasts, close to their heart. Tattoo ‘Je mother fucking t’aime’ in a tattoo cursive along my collar bones.

Windy Coffee. [part 1]

Fulya was looking at my sketchbook the other day and remarked that she liked the random sketch that I had made of some girl that I saw walking along with a little plastic cup of coffee during the wind storm a few weeks past. As I still have some small pieces of very good watercolor paper [that I had sized to be used for some small frames I had collected but did not have anything to put in them yet], I thought that perhaps I could transfer a little sketch to a little piece of paper to play with techniques. Namely the layering of water colors. Something that I know I have been working on a lot, but practice makes perfect. I also wanted to see how using my new mechanical pencil filled with blue graphite would work in hiding my lines as I initially worked. I forgot to take a picture of the transition between not having the girl inked at all to inking her and starting the background. I was having a hell of a time trying to figure out a setting in which to put her. At first I was th...

I took this picture shortly after moving out to Seattle. The pose seems to fit the picture I took just this evening fairly closely. Its kind of odd seeing my aging in this short while of living in Seattle. Random, but I saw Amaryllis today. I was working and I don’t know if she noticed me at all, but it was still one of those random shocks to see her. Its odd how it seems that the people here go in waves, where you can be friends with a bunch of people and just lose contact with them to meet another bunch of people. I hope I don’t lose contact with this last group of people. I know that I will to some extent with leaving for a year to two years, sadly, but I hope that I can come back and still have this nice base of people going on.
