First of all thank you for stopping by my page and taking the time to view some of my artwork. For those of you who have sent me FR’s or accepted FR from me, Thank you.

About Me:
I have been a professional artist for over 30 years. I primarily make my living as a professional tattoo artist in Roanoke, VA. For more information concerning that aspect of my career and to see some of the tattoos I’ve done go to: http://alexstattoo.com/alex-new-tattoo-artist-details.php?aid=8
When I am not busy tattooing or working on original custom tattoo designs for my clients I am busy drawings, sculpting, researching, networking with other artists and models etc… If I have sent you a FR on here, it is because I either know you personally or have read your posts and viewed your portfolio and like your work or have been inspired in some way by what you have posted. I am somewhat reserved when commenting on posts, however I DO NOT send out random FRs, If you received one from me it means I am interested in the possibility of working with you, networking, basing a piece of art upon an image or part of an image etc…
I am slowly adding to all this information as I have time to, please check back. Or message me for more info not currently listed.

About My Artwork:
I am not a professional photographer. I am an artist who utilizes photographs, either my own from a photo shoot done for the sake of having good visual reference material which I then utilize in creating my compositions or from a photo that has in some way inspired but was taken by someone else more talented in the medium of photography then myself. I DO NOT reproduce the work of another as my own, I do utilize what inspired me for reference purposes only, and give credit where it is due.
My artworks vary in classification, most are centered on portraiture which combines elements of fantasy, sensuality and sometimes surrealism. I like my works to visually tell a story about the person or character being depicted through the use of various icons, props, textures, backgrounds and the occasional use of color. I feel these things give my artworks a quality akin to the attempts made upon suddenly awakening to puzzle through and reconstruct an intense and vivid dream as it quickly unravels into vague evaporating fragments, or the re-discovery of a treasured memory all but forgotten where it safely lay hidden in the timeless mists of the mind.
Other works are focused on various aspects of sensuality and eroticism, some of which ride the arguable ambiguous edge of what is erotic art vs. pornography and are not displayed here. Erotic fetish, safe and sane BDSM, etc… are all acceptable. However, I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO DO SMUT!!! INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO VIOLENCE, CHOKING, RAPE, SNUFF, SCAT/URINATION, MINORS, OR ANYTHING WHICH I PERSONALLY DEEM AS DEMEANING, DEGRADING, DEMORALIZING, DEHUMANIZING OF WOMEN, OR WHICH MAKES ME FEEL LIKE VOMITING!!!

Commissions:
I rarely do works involving the male form alone, as I prefer to work with the multiplicity of the feminine form and it limitless variations. I will however include the male form for couples works and works which require representation and/or a balancing of masculine and feminine energies.
All commissioned work require a minimum non-refundable deposit of at least 25% of the estimated cost of the commission, balance due in full upon completion. Contact me for more details concerning the specifics. Serious inquires only, Thank you.
