“I’m not done yet” For the majority of my adult life - since 1989 - I’ve been in, out, in, out, and back in cancer therapy. The second time I went out of remission, the doctors were very aggressive in my treatment and I became gravely ill. This was a very dark time for me. I was terrified, angry, depressed and completely alone. There was a very serious chance that I would not survive, and I actually flatlined during treatment — twice. Had I known then that 26 years later I would not only still be alive, but I’d have a LIFE filled with love and laughter. If I’d had known that there would be a light at the end of the long dark tunnel, I would have been defiant. Braver. Calmer. I would have told myself “I got this. I am not done yet.”And here I am.

“I went on a 14 day silent retreat and it was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done.Towards the end of the two weeks I had what I think I can only describe as an out of body experience during the 4am session. I felt an overwhelming bubble of sadness and guilt literally rise within me but it wasn’t mine I was just experiencing it for someone else, I opened my eyes in floods of soundless tears that also felt not mine.I forgave my mum there and then, and it felt natural that I would stand by her no matter what, no more distancing myself, no more pushing her to get help, I would just be there unconditionally.When I left and came back home my mum told me she had something to tell me. She’d woken up really early in the morning (around 4am) and she said it was then clear what she had to do and why she had to do it.I believe I felt what my mum was feeling. I still don’t know what my mum actually felt that morning but it gave her the power and motivation to change her life.”A skate deck I that I painted a while back “I am the knife. I am all blade.”Not my original design but I had a lot of fun doing this pieceSometimes i wonder how life would be if i was an animal being able to lick his own genitals.Super tough kitty! #panthertattoo #traditionaltattoo I draw everything from scratch ya’ll i reference different illustrations, concepts out of life and some classic flash but i mash it up in my head and draw that.
First time i ever tattooed a gorilla. You’d think in 11 years i would have done one before“I have always had the sensation of having to choose which path in life I should take. I have been torn between the decision of excelling in this physical reality, and doing everything in my power to make my time here on Earth truly incredible. Or to dedicate my life to the exploration of the universe found within, however this would result in excluding myself off to the world around me. After trying the latter for a year I came to the realisation that I need to find a balance, I discovered that love is at the core of both paths but one cannot work without the other, there is a symbiosis at work. I need to find a way to do both…”– ElliotThank you Elliot for the beautiful thoughts, your trust and complete freedom with your idea!

Make the most out of it. I don't regret any minute I spent with my dog. There wasn't a second that I feel wasted.I even miss the late night walks where it rained and both of us didn't want to got out, but we had to. I miss being laughed at every time I come home. It left an emptiness when he was gone that was hard to fill. So enjoy the time you have together to the fullest. Make the most out of every day, appreciate it.Would love to do more of these small portraits.
