DeadguyLLC: I’ve been tattooing for 20 years at this point, and over time my pieces have gone from straight up realism to a more illustrated, comic book influenced approach. I noticed that, as tattoos, the images are more readable on the skin and hold up way longer.
DeadguyLLC: Since we are all trapped at home and probably spending way too much time on the computer, I thought it might be interesting if I put together a retrospective of my illustration, starting with my first serious comic attempt in 1994 and finishing with one o
DeadguyLLC: My ultimate recommendation would be Locke & Key, but in these trying times everyone probably needs more to check out. In that case, The Witcher is a good option. More fantasy and less complex politics than Game of Thrones, but still with the same vibe and
DeadguyLLC: With the current lack of people...
DeadguyLLC: I finally saw John Wick 3, and I have to say, it's pretty good. Not as good as the first, although that would be pretty difficult, but better than part 2 (which wasn't bad), and actually felt more kinetic. It had a strong story, tons of action (more than
DeadguyLLC: Trying to keep on top and remain relevant as we enter the apocalypse, this is an interview I did with Jay Wheeler https://ift.tt/3dfJmHD
DeadguyLLC: Started Edwards “chest wrapping around to back” Biomech inspired piece today. He’s an RN and we talked about what’s going on. @eternalink @painfulpleasures @peakneedles @blackhopecurse @inkaddictapparel @hustlebutterdeluxe @abyssartstudiolbny
DeadguyLLC: Looking for a new series to bide the time while we wade through the apocalypse? Check out Locke & Key. Based off a graphic novel series written by Joe Hill (Steven King's son) and illustrated by the very talented Gabriel Rodriguez, this first season is we

DeadguyLLC: Since everyone seems to have an overabundance of free time right now! I'm trying to get Book Bub (they have 10 million readers) to feature my new book The End of the World on their suite, but I need to get some more Amazon reviews! Anyone willing to read

DeadguyLLC: Finished James space half sleeve yesterday. I’ll get healed pics in a few weeks. @painfulpleasures @peakneedles @hustlebutterdeluxe @eternalink @fkirons @blackhopecurse @inkaddictapparel @abyssartstudiolbny
DeadguyLLC: This was the first illustration I did for the band Indecision. If I remember correctly, the singer felt the theme of this illustration to closely resembled the concept of the previous album.
DeadguyLLC: Back in print after a brief hiatus, and bigger than ever, is the new issue of Splatterpunk! With a cover by your's truly. I used Paul and Michael from the shop as models by the way...I think it says something about our work dynamic!
DeadguyLLC: I did this cartoon for the t-shirt sold by Indecision on the tour for their album "Release the cure". It's based on a real action by our government. They went into a minority neighborhood (in California I think) in the '50s, told them they were giving out
DeadguyLLC: My last submission to Marvel comics, this was in about 1996 when I submitted to a round of comic companies (something i had been doing for years). Kitchen Sink liked my work and wanted to publish me but they went out of business. DC sent my stuff to their
DeadguyLLC: In the new issue of Steppin’ Out magazine, I was asked to recommend a band for the Rock and Roll hall of fame. I nominated Deadguy
DeadguyLLC: Worked on Chris’s Mother Earth sleeve on Chris today based off a Mario Nevado painting. @abyssartstudiolbny @eternalink @blackhopecurse @hustlebutterdeluxe @painfulpleasures @peakneedles @fkirons @inkaddictapparel
DeadguyLLC: Worked on Paul’s chest piece today. It’s kind of a surreal, old west train with a cow catcher on it blazing though a skull and raven, a clock emerging overhead. He drives down from Mass to get work, and a few years ago I completed a backpiece in him. @ete
DeadguyLLC: Back when I first moved to NYC in 1998, and right after my disastrous interview with Andrew Helfer from the DC Comics Vertigo line, I decided that maybe I should do painted book covers. Penguin Books like my stuff, and asked me to resubmit later. I decide

DeadguyLLC: Photo by my customers boyfriend of me tattooing her. As you can tell, she’s having the time of her life
DeadguyLLC: Me, @ron570tattoos and Matty from Redemption aftercare, about to start the Detroit convention
DeadguyLLC: Worked on Pat’s “depths of hell” backpiece. Well finish detailing the demon in the front, and do a “Dante’s Inferno” style spiraling background behind it. @abyssartstudiolbny @peakneedles @blackhopecurse @eternalink @fkirons @abyssartstudiolbny @hustlebut
DeadguyLLC: Tattmag posted the interview I did with Guy Aitchison and took it all a step further by having me include photos of Guy’s tattoos, his paintings, and a detailed description of how he influenced the industry and me personally. Check it out at tattmag.com!
