Not long ago my friend Adam took me in and let me learn from him at his shop , and introduced me to a sign painter that would regularly come by. . That started a passion. Little did i know my grandfather was also a wealth of knowledge on the subject. I found out only after i told him id been working on some projects recently. Just something he never shared with me. My grandfather gifted me these in hopes I would , and I quote "never reach reach for a brush that isn't there". Thanks Pawpaw. Now to oil and store these. After I put the finishing touches on @shizoq new sign . #itsalittleoverthetop #signpainting #oneshot #signpaintertingocnito #dallas #texas #sammyhayden #handpainted #tattooartist #thanksadam #stilldontleavetapeontheground (at Legacy Arts Tattoo)

Realized I never posted the continuation of James' religious sleeve as part of a larger project. Hopefully I get to spend some time on it this winter. #sammyhayden #forney #plano #tattooartist #color #legacyartstattoo #dallas #addison #richardson #rockwalltx #rockwall #greenvilletx #angeltattoo #inprogress #blackandgrey #stencilstuff #religioustattoos #christiantattoo #crosstattoo (at Legacy Arts Tattoo)

A quick shot of my station with the live streaming happening the other day. Super fun to do. Will be doing alot more of this as well as #livestream of some sketching in #sketchbookpro and #procreate . Be sure to let me know if there is anything we can do to improve the quality of the stream from a viewers perspective ! Would love input since I'm new to this. Thanks everyone !
