The first portriat I ever did

Don't mean to be a downer here, but I just found out that a guy I did my first portriat on, (it was a picture of his son) who has become a good friend of mine, well his son, was just put on life support and will be taken off this afternoon, and I guess I'm not handeling it to well, I get close w/ my clients, hell, all we talked about while I did his tattoo was our kids, and being that I have a little girl, makes it hurt that much more. I guess this is just a reminder of how we should cherish or lives and the lives of the ones we love. There was a guy who wrote in about his fiance leaving him because of a tattoo he got of his children, I think the love that any parent has for thier children is incomperabile to any other thing in this world, and I guess what I'm trying to get at here is that even though I'm hurting now I will forever hold them in my heart and I was honord to be a part in helping my friend honor his child in life and death.

So sorry Skittlez. Sorry for his family.

sorry to hear that Skittlez our hearts go out to the family.

You know I'm with you baby....Ya got my number!!...TAz

Man, that really sucks. I do however applaud you for your outlook. You're really looking at this with a granite chin. My hat goes off to you and I hope you and your clients soon see better times.

Skittlez....Portraits are so personal and so full of personal meaning for both client and artist...I dunno maybe I'm just a softie on the inside but when I do a portrait I put so much into it that I am just bone tired when its done...not just physically but emotionally too.I know you have a great big ol heart and sometimes when yer heart is that big a loss even if its not directly Your loss hurts like hell. I am so sorry for both your loss and your clients...My Aunt , who raised me when I was here every summer from Cali just passed a week and a half ago..WE were so close I called her MAMA2!....I am missin her sooo bad!! I will eventually get some real estate lazered and get a portrait of her. I will either have one of my old pals Jack Rudy or Brian Everett do it. Its gotta be special and I don't think I'd trust anyone else. Hey look girl I want ya to call me sometime this week ...just whenever ya got a minute just to cry on each others shoulders...BTW I will be headed yer way with my pet band next month so we need to get together K?.....K!!!...xxx TAz
