Hi. I am a cleaver. I was painted for the Horror Business IV art show at the world famous @lefthandblackstudio. The show was beautifully curated by the lovely @crystalmcdeath. I'm on the wall with other amazing cleavers, but I would like to live with you. I'm 14x4 and hand carved and hand painted by the HoriYeti himself. I promise to cheer you up and have been sanded to ensure that I will not accidentally cut you. Please let me live on your wall. I only cost $400 and don't eat much as you can see. Thank you. #lhblk #lefthandblack #turkturkturk #turkskull #art #paint #painting #acrylic #horror #horrorbusiness #horrorbusinessartshow #cleaver #meatcleaver #bonehead #handpainted #amazing #instagood #picoftheday (at Left Hand Black Tattoo)

Drew this rad BioShock tattoo for @piratecassie last week... Just lines and some shading for now but next time should finish it up! I'll get pics then, I promise! This tattoo is based on art from the game and she gave me some reference of another tattoo that I loosely borrowed from. I would tag the artist and give him the credit if I knew who it was. Thanks Cassie for letting me do this tattoo and sitting like a champ!! #lhblk #lefthandblack #turkturkturk #tattoo #tattoos #bioshock #bioshockinfinite #art #illustration #drawing #sketch #wip #redpencil #nogodsorkingsonlyman #videogameaddict #videogames #nerdsrule (at Left Hand Black Tattoo)
