BLAH! Guess my shots got in too late! Editor said he’ll use 2 of them for the next (3rd) issue but is not using my Liz Brutal set. Such a shame, I really loved those shots but understand. They said the background was too dark for printing. Be it eating up too much ink and not flowing with the rest of the issue….idk. After looking through all the photography work in the regular magazine, I think I see the general theme is “fashion” style photography, but with INKED up models. Liz set was just too alternative I guess.
Regardless, The first set I submitted early on got printed – Erika. These were actually shot before they contacted me to submit again so they were already set to go!
I forget the actual MUA’s name for this set, but I’ll get it. The magazine mistakenly kept my bio-info with Blair and Renee as my MUA’s for 1st and 2nd issue. Oh well! At least they get a little exposure
So anyways, Here’s the Erika scans and below these I’ll post the Liz set that won’t be used. (however, they may be in the June Hungarian version of Tattoo. Have to wait and see)

When am I going to have some new work out? Well, I should be finished the move this weekend pretty much and have my 1st shoot scheduled for the following weekend. I have a handful of different people that I keep putting off, but I’ll get to at least 2 shoots this month I hope. Won’t be any tattooed girls this time. I need to get some other into my system. You guys know who you are, I’ll be contacting you soon.
