Welcome to my page of creative endeavours. I have been a lifelong artist of sorts dabbling in many mediums. This desire to create begin with crude renderings of both ninja and monster trucks but thankfully evolved beyond big wheeled trans ams to something with more depth.
I got a BFA in 97 and then spent 2.5 years in Asia teachin the English and exhibiting both paintings, monotype prints and photos. For about six years my primary artistic focus was more on abstraction as a means of representing 'the feeling of life'. This lead to patterns which then lead to Japanese tattoo designs. After a year or so of Irezumi inspired painting I realized I wanted to be part of this. A little research into what western new school tattooers were doing and I was convinced. I began tattooing in 2002 but not full time until 2005.
Today I enjoy tattooing in many styles(new school Japanese possibly being my fave) as well as painting and occasionally drawing zany buildings. I can be found tattooing out of my studio: SEE WORTHY tattoos in Armstrong BC. I can be contacted via email at monkin3@hotmail.com.
