Lifes working.
For many years now I have been asked to design tattoos for people, and through those years I collected many designs and sold them to the tattoo studios within my home counties of Hereford and Worcestershire. Some of you may remember my first company, Red Eye Design: It was here that I produced a clothing line with tribal art printed with UV reactive inks. Until recently I also enjoyed 8 years customizing motorcycles, helmets, guitars, snow boards, and drag cars with airbrush artwork. I would say the custom industry runs very closely to the tattoo industry as it's another form of customization. I really enjoy designing personalized art for people and getting their imaginations to flow -- people are very inspiring, and there’s no feeling like it when you work closely with a client to put their dreams onto paper, metal or flesh etc, and that is what makes the whole job so much fun: Pushing boundaries and making your heart sing ;-)
Here are some examples of my custom artwork:
Predator Bike.
This job was created with a very small budget, but I totally enjoyed painting the predator face. It's one of my all time favourite horror films. When I started out, my art was full of monsters and bats and things, being someone who considered herself goth at the time ;-)
Heres an airbrush piece from my earlier years, I call the "Tooth Faerie".
I can’t help but add my favourite ride,
my own kawasaki

One of my favourite works is this wolf bike. I have to say for a whole month I lived and breathed this bike and I consider it to be one of my biggest achievements, that broght tears of joy. I really didn’t want to give it back to the owner, Slim. He wanted a half wolf and half werewolf bike, but he told me that he wanted the spirit of the wolf to become the bike. We talked about painting the bike with a fur effect making the hackle run down the whole of the bike. Thank you Slim for allowing me to get my hands on your bike and such an amazing project. This was probably one of last great custom works sniff sniff...
Present and Future.
For most of you, you will know me through my other website at Lunarian Art. It is there that I pay homage to the faerie, nature spirits, and goddess through art, created with the inspiration of my friends, crystals and nature. That website is about who I am now, and what my beliefs are. Art is created from the soul, and I wanted to get in touch with my feminine side and create beautiful work for the fairer sex for a change. That's certainly not to say that I didn’t enjoy custom airbrush painting. Despite the fact that I continue to create pretty, feminine images at Lunarian Art, I feel there needs to be balance between both wonderful forces, so what’s pretty for a girl, might not be right for him. We must not forget the men in our lives, they too like to have nice things, and the world is full of goodies for us femme fatales, but not a lot out their for the man in your life. This was pointed out to me recently by a gentleman who was looking for some art for himself. So expect some new work from me in the future ;-)
My mission in life is to create beautiful art and fulfill my dreams and yours, in creating something special for you, so if you're looking for help with creating art for any purpose, whether it's a tattoo for you or your loved ones or somethin else entirely, I would love to help.
