So I miss posting. I do.

I've been traveling at an ungodly speed. This month has been absolutely new and overwhelming. Next month, March, I'll be slowing down.

This week I just finished up Musink in Costa Mesa. Next week I'll be tattooing the Detroit Motor City Expo, sharing a booth with Monte. And yes, if you're around Detroit, come and visit.

March will come and I'll be back to my normal schedule.

Conventions are so different. They're both overwhelming and refreshing. After my second one, the stress level moved aside and being able to tattoo anywhere has given me more confidence.

I remember the first day I showed up in Chicago for a weekly guest spot... I was nervous and a little insecure. If only because I had no clue what the hell to do in a different environment. Everything was foreign. So I feigned some sort of nonchalance and watched the other guys setup... I remember watching them tape down dental bibs to the surface and realizing it made sense. I just did it different. Analyzing always helps; then I just added my take and was able to create a new comfort level.

Now I throw myself in. Still a little hesitant, but a bit more capable....

But for now I have to run, In-N-Out Burger calls.
