ol' number 2

There's something very comforting in a number 2 pencil. No matter what your skill level or artistic  achievement in life, whether your a graphic designer, a highly sought after contemporary gallery artist or a humble tattooer like myself, chances are it all began with a yellow number 2 pencil at the kitchen table. Please forgive my introspective reminiscence but I find it cathartic to return to your "roots" so to speak, it doesn't get much more natural and comforting than a crisp piece of paper and that all so familiar piece of wood between your grasp. I spent the better part of the day drawing in just this manner, no fancy pencils or charcoal sticks and certainly no Arches french pressed paper. Simply good old computer paper and the old deuce. It's a fairly random ensemble. Here's the results. As always thanks for viewing.
