We wish there were enough words to tell you how much we love @findyoursmile’s latest Hanako-kun piece. It certainly is a wonder, isn’t it?

Arlia Tattoo - A One Of A Kind Tattoo Studio

Artist @findyoursmile has created a ton of new art prints to help fund the grand opening of his new tattoo studio, Arlia Tattoo.

Tumblr friends! My tattoo artist (@findyoursmile) is opening up his own tattoo studio in Orlando, FL and it’s going to be so crazy cool I’m so excited for it. He launched this Kickstarter to help fund the project and the more money he gets for it the cooler it gets to be. Plus, if you back it, you get to choose from 50+ prints from Ghibli to Disney to Dragonball to My Hero Academia. And they’re beautiful!

Russell’s tattoos are incredible and he’s such an awesome, humble guy. If anyone deserves to have his dreams come true like this it’s definitely him.

One Shady Fellow

The image I'm sharing with you is a little tongue in cheek. Yes, it's my shadow as I wander with seeming aimlessness around my yard searching for something worthy of documenting with my iPhone camera. I was going to name it 'Splendor in The Grass' but that just garnered a significant eye roll from my wife so I went with title B instead. For some reason she said she felt it was more appropriate. It does sort of have that Film Noir, Bela Lugosi, air about it. Mysterious claw hand and all.

Actually there is a point to this seeming aimless rambling thought I'm sharing with you and it's this; Creative imagination is a use it or lose it proposition. The less you allow yourself to simply wander and create in a fluid and organic manner the less you will find yourself able or willing to do so.

Creatives are by nature a shady lot when compared to those who spend most of their  time hunkered down in the left hemisphere of their brain. This isn't an indictment, or an excuse, simply a fact that often bugs the hell out of those who don't understand the power the need to create exerts on those of us in our right mind. Now before you get your hackles up I'm referring to the left logical, right radical, thinking functions of the left and right hemispheres of the human brain.

This may seem a little convoluted or reversed to you, but politics aside, it makes sense to psychologists, neuroscientists, and artists who follow this sort of stuff. In short, if you want to find your Smile, give yourself a creative break now and then and just wander a bit. Just don't spend too much time in the sun or you might end up in front of a computer writing stuff like this.
