Thanks Fellas! The girls' parents really like them... these are for my friends' daughters who are 1 and 3 years old. They'll appreciate them more when they get older! HAHA! -Andy

Hey All, Here's a couple of birthday presents I did. Just a little tattoo flash modified a bit to suit my needs. They measure 8x10, dyed, painted, and sealed. Enjoy! Andy

Awesome! Thanks for the tree. I've been searching for a good one with little time to draw one myself. This one is perfect! Cool little tool for the lettering as well. Cheers, Andy

That is fantastic! I really like the closure method with the swing locks. I like how you cut the centers out of the straps too rather than leaving them solid. Nice tree as well. Got a pattern to share for it? Thanks! Andy

Thanks for posting those links Ray. Amazing work in there and very inspiring! Cheers, Andy

Those are nice! I particularly like the dark red/brown one in the middle. Nice color and overall look. Nice shape too. I don't suppose you'd share a pattern for these? Thanks, Andy

That is beautiful! I love that style of art. nice coloring too. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Andy

Dig it dude! That is cool. I love that style of art. -Andy

Cool pics Tom! I like the live shots of the guitar strap. Rock on Brudda! -Andy

Thanks Johanna!

I don't know if others have this problem but the cool, new icons for the topics are now replaced by a generic icon. No more little brown flames in a circle for "Hot Topic", etc. Also didn't the overall site have a tannish color to it? Mine is displaying white now. Is there a setting in my browser (Firefox) that I need to update/change/clear? -Andy Edit: Here is a screen shot of what I see now.

Mikkel, That bottle is amazing. I love the shape, the color, and the wood stopper really sets it off! Thanks for sharing! I've been wanting to make one of these for some time too. I have a friend who does a little wood turning, I might see about doing something like that on mine. -Andy

Another amazing piece Tom! Thanks for the diagram on the assembly too. It looks very finished doing it that way, especially the top connecting to the crown. Nice and rolled over. Thanks for the inspiration! Cheers, Andy

This is pretty nice. Do you happen to have a more closeup photo of your pyrography? Irt's just something that I may want to try and I'd like a better view of the results. Also, what's your method for getting the design on the leather in order to do the pyrography? Thanks, Andy

That's cool! Great concept of the pinup style for Alice. Sexy!

I found an older Juki LS-321 on eBay. It's sitting on my work bench taunting me as I have not set it up yet. i am going to hire Steve (from Cobra) to help me get it going with a custom table and a motor. I picked up the Juki for $650, so after the table and motor setup I end up spending pretty much what a new Boss would cost. And I can save my arm and fingers! I also found a website that I was able to download the owner's manual from for this machine so I think I'm all set. -Andy

Tom, this thing is so cool! I can't help but look at it at least twice an hour lately. Fantastic!

Welcome aboard! I really like that Sun Tablet you made. Interesting to say the least. I can see that being done up in leather too. Imagine all that design work tooled or painted into a skin covered box? Cheers, Andy

Regardless of any mistakes you made (I couldn't see any!) this case is fantastic! Beautiful design and I love the contrast you put into this. It really pops. Thanks for showing! -Andy

Imagine the scene: It's 2am, I hear my dog causing chaos in the backyard. Hit the lights and she's wrestling with a skunk! Dog kills skunk, dog smells to high heaven, house smells like ass, baby wakes up and wants a bottle, starts crying. I'm trying to contain the dog meanwhile shoveling smelly dead skunk into garbage can. So, I'm in my boxers washing the dog at 2am. No tomato paste in the pantry so I grab the only thing handy that I think might work: SALSA! Me rubbing my skunky dog down at 2am with a jar of salsa and shampoo in the muddy side yard. Baby crying cause he wants to eat. House smells like skunk. Dead skunk shoveled into my garbage can on the front yard. All I can do is laugh. Wake up this morning, salsa is not effective. Have to wait untul after work to mix up some baking soda. That was my night/morning today. Quite the scene! :-) In need of another shower, Andy

Thanks guys! Yeah she like it a lot. The photos don't quite do it justice though. I think it looks better in person as you can see the metallics in the gold and it looks like an old piece of parchment with tattoo art on it (just like I was going for). Plus the whole thing bulges out from the frame so it has this nice round look to it. -Andy

I can't say out loud enough how cool that is! There enough said. :-) I love this as well as all your art you make! Thanks a lot. -Andy

Good work dude! I especially like the bride wallet. That iPhone case is creeping me out... in a good way! HAHA! Cheers my man, Andy

My wife and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary yesterday. So, as I found out, a gift of leather is the traditional 3rd year gift so you know I couldn't pass up this to make some art for her! Here it is done up in old tattoo flash style. Tooled, painted with acrylics, the red heart is Eco-Flo scarlet dye. It measures 8"x8". Cheers, Andy

This is truly amazing! I love the details you put into this. Specifically the Aether collectors around the back. How did you get the text in there? My first thought was silkscreened but I don't see how since it's not on a very flat surface. I like! (insert voice of Borat here) -Andy
