These are nice. He wouldn't happen to take customizations on this type of work does he?

Actually he does. If you have an illustration you have in mind, he can draw it up in AutoCAD to import for the plasma cutter. He usually charges a set-up fee for custom work since it takes a bit of time to get the image ready for cutting (sometimes having to tweak the image so it will be a solid piece). Depending on the complexity of the piece, it can be anywhere between $10-125 (plus set-up for custom work and shipping).

I may scan in his catalog to let everyone see his other stuff, too.

If you have a design in mind, feel free to e-mail it to me at arshes13[at]hotmail.com and I can get back to you on what he'd charge.

I actually would design this myself but not at the moment. Knowing he uses AutoCAD helps.

I can't remember if that imports EPS files or not. I can also save it as a .DWG if necessary, so that he has the vector lines there already.

I think the .DWG would work (I can't remember if that's the file format for AutoCAD or not), but he has imported jpegs and drawn over the pic. Just drop me a line whenever you get the design and we can work from there

Thanks

No problem :)

I just looked at all the recent stuff you uploaded, and I have to say... If I had a tattoo shop of my own (which someday I might, who knows!) I'd buy your husband's entire catalog. It'd all make excellent tattoo flash art for the walls, and it'd all make very striking dermagraphic art. Kudos.

Thanks so much for the kind words! Personally, I hope you're able to get your own shop. Your work is outstanding!

Sometimes Paul sees designs out and about in catalogs or even tattoo books and re-draw them in AutoCAD to suit his needs for metalwork. He has several designs that I'd love to have inked... but alas, funds and an artist I trust in this neck of the woods, rather limiting.

Well, one of these days, we'll all have to cross paths at a con I'm slinging dinosaur porn/inking at.

Just let me know if you ever plan on coming to Oklahoma and I'll do my best to make it!
