check out mitch o’connell show that just opened at packer-schopf gallery… 942 west lake….
incredible way over the top tattoo imagery as art… the gallery always has interesting shows, and this one is among my favorites. you might find an image in one of the paintings that would be just right for you !!!!

Thanks for coming with on Saturday!

Hey Tate—-Stop being a wuss & go for it! I don’t love the really bright color tattoos but the old style ones are absolutely beautiful.
