I made this piece on a night when my mind was loud and my heart was clear. I needed to build something that looked like strength. Something that felt like power not control. Something that carried peace inside the storm.
I grew up watching stories where the hero always found a way to rise again. This time I wanted to paint my own version of that. A reminder that even in digital form energy is real. Every line I drew carried fire. Every color held emotion. The glow around his hand felt like purpose itself.
For me digital art is not about perfection. It is about creation. It is about letting imagination speak in color. I use Procreate the same way I use paint to release what I feel and design what I believe.
This piece is part battle part balance. It reminds me that power is not something you take. It is something you build from within.
I create to remember who I am.

Male Tattoo Artist Roles in Contemporary Tattoo Culture
Walking into a studio today feels very different from the old days of loud music and tough talk. Modern tattoo shops can be calm, warm and welcoming, and the person guiding you through the whole process is often a male tattoo artist who takes his job very seriously.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
