Hyperspace Studios

Rest stops, coffee, NPR, and audiobooks... I write this after returning from a six hour drive.

I fired off an email asking Markus Lenhard when he'd be in the States so I could get a tattoo. Oddly enough, he responded, "next week." A few exchanges and I was off to have Markus tattoo me at Hyperspace Studios in southern Illinois. A couple of emails later and I was graciously invited to come early and watch a bit of Markus and Guy Aitchison working on a collaboration.

Overwhelmed at first, I tried hard to step in with my mind open and eyes attentive. Watching Guy, Michele, and Markus tattoo was unbelievable. But being able to talk, listen, and be surrounded by a gifted group of people was an honor.

Here's my new tattoo by Markus Lenhard. It's near complete, with only an hour or so for the next session.

The experience is slowly settling in. I've much to think about; so I promise to dive into much more detail after I get some rest.
