Happy 4th of July.

Yesterday Laura and I went to an outdoor auction and bought all kinds of cool antiques and furniture. After I left Laura bought me this awesome antique American Flag for in my drawing room. She walked inside for a second and when she came out it was gone. The auction made several announcements for someone to return it but no one did. However an older man in his late 50s or early 60s did come forward and say that he saw a lady steal it. He gave this description to the auction.” A lady way older then himself, probably in her 70s wearing a red hat was peaking under table cloths of people stuff and he told her to stop that it was other peoples stuff. Then she walked up to our flag, rolled it up and jumped into a car that was waiting for her at the end of the table the flag was on and they drove off. What a bunch of crap to steal my flag on July 3rd. But then again stealing your flag is probably the most american thing they could have done for this 4th of july. Its a perfect example of the mindset of our nation and the state of our economy. Here’s two tattoos I did about a month ago in South Carolina.

For some reason I have yet to upload this picture. I think I have been refusing because its a shitty picture. But due to the fact that my camera is going to be out of commission for a while I will just go ahead and post this. Sorry about the shitty quality of the photo. This was a fun one based on an old sailor Jerry Pinup. But the client wanted to throw a gas mask on her.

Phil Bleeds Tigers Blood…

I did this tattoo on Phil today. I havent been uploading anything because Im in maryland and dont have an SD card reader or my camera charger and my camera just died today. But I do have these shitty pictures I took with my cell phone.

So for the last few days Ive been at Time Bomb in DownTown Frederick. It was nice to finally have someone swing by and say Hi today. Phil and Laura came and said Hi. Im currently drawing up a tattoo for both of them. Phils going to get a cool little Tiger banger on the front of shoulder and Lauras going to get something like this Indian Girl. I drew it up real quick and she came in and took a look. Im going to change a few things still. Im not scheduled to work Friday or Saturday but Id love to go in and tattoo. If you want something send me a message at Rick@AlchemyInTheMoonLight.com

If you are interested in getting one of these designs let me know asap because Im only going to be doing them at this price tomorrow.

The Ant and The Grasshopper…

I had a very productive day today. I haven’t painted in a long time and it shows. So from now on I am going to dedicate at least 4 hours a day to nothing but painting. Get a nice tall glass of cool lemonade, some relaxing music and paints. Nothing else. Here is what I did today. A set of two really small paintings based off of some paintings by Amund Dietzel. Also I will be going back to Maryland this week and will be doing a guest spot at Kyatic Tattoo in Littlestown Pa. Terry is being really cool about letting me come up and I cant wait to get there. I have also been talking to a few other shops in that area about swinging by while Im there. So if you are anywhere in the Maryland/Pennsylvania area and want tattooed let me know. The more people that want tattooed, the longer I will stay.

Flowers and a new house…

So I moved south recently. I now live in Charleston SC. The past two weeks have resulted in the worst of luck though. I had to leave my car in Maryland when we moved. So I will be going back to pick it up next weekend. Also the shop that I agreed to work at once i moved down was horrible. So I quit and Ive just been hanging out at home a lot lately. Here are some pictures of my house. I really enjoy having enough space to finally hang some of the prints and paintings I own. I will be hanging out at home a lot so I will spend that time trying to upload photos of some of my favorite tattoos Ive done recently. But I probably wont do any new tattoos till I go back to maryland unless I find a job here before that.

Every night when Laura and I go walk the dogs. I pick lots of flowers and have been putting them in vases and jars around the house. Its so nice to wake up to a house full of flowers.
