PINK BULLDOG TATTOO

2010-08-10T20:22:00.002-04:00

"Apple stood out, not only because of her vibrant color, but also because of her bubbly personality. She was a great dog, but she kept many secrets. Secrets that will soon find their way to the surface."

I tattooed this piece on Scott Olive's girlfriend while doing a guest spot at Oddity Tattoo in Sarasota, Florida. The piece took me about 4 hours total.

CORPORATE CHARACTER TATTOO

2010-07-27T21:42:00.000-04:00

"In the beginning he had nothing but good intentions, but the more time he spent in the company the more he lost of his original self."

Had a "no-show" for my Saturday slot at Tattoolapalooza in Miami this past June so I squeezed this piece in. Sketched the entire piece on with marker and knocked it out in about 3.5 hrs.

ALLERGIES TATTOO

2010-07-13T23:07:00.000-04:00

A fellow tattoo artist from Greensboro, North Carolina drove up to get this piece from me. He asked me to put together a piece that would represent all of his allergies so I drew up a cat trying to defend itself from a shrimp and some dust mites with an inhaler. This piece took me roughly 15 hours total.

RALPHIE TATTOO

2010-07-06T19:51:00.002-04:00

I created this piece as a memorial for my client's late ferret who used to eat all the plants in her house. She flew in from Ontario, Canada twice for a total of 13 hours to get this piece.

The Rescue Tattoo

2010-06-29T10:04:00.002-04:00

Tattooed this piece on a good friend of mine named Heather. Never really been a fan of drawing flowers, but she let me sneak a couple of little critters in there to keep me entertained.

New Jesse Smith/Dan Hazelton Collabo

2010-06-03T08:27:00.002-04:00

My buddy Dan Hazelton and I just finished up this piece for an upcoming comic book called Bromkah. The story was written and illustrated by a tattoo artist in Atlanta, Georgia named Garrett Adderley. We were so happy with the way the whole collabo turned out that we decided to make some "18X24" posters of it. If you'd like to scoop one up you can click on the image below and it'll shoot you on over to my online store. They're $10 a piece plus shipping and handling.

As usual I want to thank you all for your continued support,

Jesse Smith............

FOOD CHAIN TATTOO

2010-05-25T19:35:00.000-04:00

This tattoo illustrates a day in the life of one of my soccer buddies who is a master chef at the infamous Shafer Court. It took me about 15 hours to complete.

Just because you were born slow doesn't mean you can't excel.

VULTURE CULTURE TATTOO

2010-05-11T18:30:00.001-04:00

Tattooed this piece on my buddy Ryan a couple of years back down in Cocoa, FL. He had originally asked for a vulture on the side of his calf which I was really excited about tattooing. I sat down, started to draw, and got a little carried away. Fourteen hours later, this is what he ended up with.

THANK YOU!!

2010-01-19T12:09:00.006-05:00

First off I'd like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support. I sold a ton of T-Shirts this past week and it really means a lot to me that all of you stepped up to help me out. I'm going to get all these orders off to the printers this Monday and hopefully have them out to you a couple weeks after. If you haven't had a chance to order a shirt and would like to, please make sure you get your order in before Sunday.

On another note, I just had 3 new articles drop in Europe (Skin Deep issue 181, Rise, and Bodyfication). I sent them a bunch of new tattoos that I've never posted on the internet before so if you wanna see them you're gonna hafta scoop yourself up one of these magazines:)

Till next time!!

LEFTY SKETCH T!

2010-01-12T19:19:00.006-05:00

Last Friday I messed up my drawing hand pretty bad playing soccer and unfortunately it has put me in a position where I can't tattoo. So I was trying to figure out a way to supplement my tattoo income and I came up with an idea. I had always wanted to see what would happen if I drew up something left handed and thought this was a good opportunity to try. I sat down with the intention to draw a T-Shirt design to sell to people who were interested in giving me a hand financially and to my surprise it turned out better then I had expected.

I ended up sketching a squirrel (go figure:) named Basher who was the sole survivor in the battle for the Golden Acorn. I also wrote a short story about how he ended up breaking his wrist that can be found behind the image on the T-shirt. If you are interested in scooping up a T-Shirt I would greatly appreciate it. All shirts will be printed on American Apparel and run $23 a piece. They are available in Men's (Grey or Sepia) and Girl's (Grey or Muave). Thank you all so much for your continued support, Jesse Smith

SWINGING DICK!

2009-07-31T02:09:00.003-04:00

So I arrived in San Diego last week with a few slots available to tattoo. The first day I walked into Five Two Tattoo there was this fella sitting there waiting for me. After talking a bit he asked me if I would be interested in tattooing a "dick on a swing" on his inner thigh. Initially I was really not feeling the idea so I told him I'd think about it and get back to him. After a couple days of dishin around the idea I decided to give it a try. This is what I came up with.

In today's news, Pick and I took a train from San Diego to L.A. It was about a 3 hour trip total. Arrived in L.A. at about 7PM and have been hangin around the hotel catchin up on some internet time. Tomorrow we're gonna stop by the Tattoo Lounge here in Venice beach and talk to Bugs a bit before we head out to the beach to take some photos and do some sketchin. Gotta a couple tattoos that I did in Miami that I'd like to post so hopefully I'll have a little time tomorrow to post them. Till then, Enjoy my Swingin Dick:)

BATTLE FOR THE BRAIN!!

2009-07-25T17:46:00.007-04:00

I dropped this piece off about 2 weeks ago in Miami beach for the first annual Tattoolapalooza. I stayed super busy and got to hang out with one of my bestest friends Jason Stephan. All in all I had a great time!

I ended up scooping up "Tattoo of the Day" on Sat. which is pretty awesome being that there were a ton of Awesome tattoo artists there. The collector of this piece had been battling a disease that ended up requiring surgery and changing his way of life. During his battle with this disease he thought that it would ruin his quality of life. So I created this piece to illustrate that although the disease may have won the small battle, there was a bigger battle to be fought. The battle for the brain and his ability to continue a high quality life even with his loss.

Today Electric Pick and I are gonna go chill out at a cafe' and release some of this creative energy that has accumulated over the past couple of days. We just spent two full days at the comic-con and are overwhelmed by the inspiration. Hopefully I'll have some fun stuff to show you soon. Till then, stay safe, it's a dangerous world out there!!

IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD!!

2009-07-21T17:02:00.008-04:00

The pieces posted below were created for a show called "Pint Size Paintings". We were given two 2"X3" canvas' and told to decorate them using paint (either oil or acrylic). Being that the canvas' were so small my first instinct was to create a composition that would stand up not only as two separate pieces but also as one. While sketching on the canvas' I decided to try and connect them on every side. It took me about 4 hours to figure it out and 21 hours to paint it.

Dan Hazelton Collabo Sketch!

2009-06-15T04:50:00.003-04:00

Just got back from a week in Milwaukee visiting and drawing with my buddy Dan Hazelton (www.danhazelton.com). The sketch below was one of two collabos that we started while I was there. We started sketching around midnight and finished up around 7 or 8 in the morning:) I'm about to pick up a Wacom tablet this week so hopefully we can get this jammer knocked out!

I should have prints available in a couple of weeks so if you're interested in scooping one up keep your eyes peeled!!

SURFACING SERPENT (SKETCH)

2009-04-02T01:03:00.004-04:00

So I went down to Fuzion Ink to do a guest spot for their one year anniversary and had all intention of finishing every piece I had started, but just like every other guest spot I do, I ended up getting myself in way over my head on one of the pieces. Fortunately for me, Fuzion Ink is only about an hour and a half from hear and Tom was more then willing to travel. Tom had initially asked me for a dragon on his chest, but before I knew it I had filled the page with a drawing that was ridiculously too big. So I showed Tom the piece and told him that it would look much better on the ribs, but if he wasn't willing to go that route then I'd draw something else up that would fit a little better. He liked the drawing so much that he offered up his ribs and we started crunchin away. I honestly didn't think he'd go for it but after we had finished the first session I threw out the idea of bringing it down and showing everything under water. The first couple of sittings he really didn't say much about it but as we got closer to finishing the upper half he started talking about bringing it down. Below is the sketch of the lower half that I drew on a photo of the upper half that I took before the last session. I'm hoping to have this piece knocked out within the next couple of months. So as soon as I have some good pictures of the completed piece I'll toss them up.

Just wanted to toss this up before I went to bed. It's a sketch for part of a painting that I'll be working on over the next month. Hopefully I can find a little more time tomorrow to start sketchin on some of the other parts. If I get anything done worth showin I'll post it:)

RABBIT EATING VULTURE

Just finished up this piece that I started on my boy Ryan a couple months ago at the Tried and True tattoo convention in Orlando, Florida. The initial idea he threw at me was that he wanted a vulture on his calf. So I started sketchin and this is what I came up with.

14 hours of tattooing later............

Got commissioned to do a painting for my boy Shae from N.E.R.D. I'll be starting that as well as a half torso piece for him within the next couple days. Stay tuned.............

Nightmares!
