Potential Tattoo Design

Dave Dodge — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 04:24:49 +0000

Yesterday I decided to tinker around with The Gimp (a Photoshop-like graphics program) and created a design which I’ve had in my head for a while. It was a pain in the arse to get it t look just right…

DDD being my initials. Right now I’m thinking this will be my first tattoo, as soon as I’m able to afford it.

Male Fairies

For anyone who is keeping an eye out for images of male fairies, this is a sampling of the type of images that are catching my eye…

			This is a favorite.	I like the masculinity of this.
I like the chest of this one.	Again, I like the chest.	I don’t care for the pose, but like the chest and wings.	Okay, I mainly like the hat.	The chest, again.
I only like the muscle tone.	I like the pose.	Again, I like the nude pose with no naughty bits.

I’m looking for a side pose. Nude, but with nothing of an adult nature showing; just side-ass. I’ll probably take a sampling of images to a tattoo artist and see what he/she can come up with, unless any of you artistic types can do anything. I tried but I can’t draw people.

A Project for Anyone Interested…

I’m looking for an image of a Male Fairy to potentially use as a tattoo. This seems to be a futile search so far. I’ve been looking online, mostly within Google Images, and have found very few male fairies. I’ve mostly found the female variety. Shocking, I know!

I’m not only looking for a male fairy but a masculine looking male fairy. Yes, an even more impossible endeavor. I’ve found only one image that slightly resembled what I am looking for…

I’d like for him to look a bit older, more toned or muscled, but not Arnold Schwarzenegger big. I’d also like for him to be in a more upright, hovering in the air position but still turned or positioned such that his naughty bits are out of view. A little ass showing is fine.

Is there anyone on my friends list who would be capable of drawing such a thing?

Even if you can’t draw this, perhaps someone can help me search for decent looking male fairy images…

Bodies: The Exhibition

I really want to go to the Bodies exhibition. All but maybe one of you will find it really creepy. Personally, I’d love to see it. Yes, I am creepy like that.

Wouldn’t it be creepy to walk up to one of the displays and say, “That looks like grandma… Oh shit! GRANDMA!?!?!? I didn’t even know she was dead!!!!”

You may now resume reading your more sane friend’s posts. Thank you.

An Evening of One Acts

Dave Dodge — Sat, 22 Jul 2006 22:49:01 +0000

A while back I went to the Historic Everett Theater inquiring about possible volunteer positions. They had a large group of people there and ran things like a seminar, in which they explained to everyone what sort of volunteer positions were available. All of them required too much of a time commitment that I knew I wouldn’t be able to commit to so I never followed up on the whole thing.

To everyone who attended that meeting they gave a coupon for two free tickets to “An Evening of One Acts” which I believe is a series of short plays written by local residents. I could be wrong about that.

The play, of sorts, has been running since the beginning of the month and consists of six one act plays. I think that for the first few weeks they only had three plays at a time. Tonight, though, they have all six so my friend Sara and I decided to go to that one.

It starts at 7 p.m. and we’ll be seeing:

Fishing in Las Vegas by Pat Haines-Ainsworth
The American Century by Murphy Guyer
The Actorâ€™s Nightmare by Christopher Durang
Graceland by Ellen Byron
Murray and Judith Take a Trip by Regan deVictoria
Artillery by Drew Hobson

Hopefully we’ll be entertained. I’m gonna bring a bag of tomatoes to throw just in case. I’m sure Sara would have a blast tossing ‘maters at the actors.

Man, that’s a terrible attitude. I’m sure it will be fun. And, hey, it’s free. The ticket price online is $16 per person.

Giving Head

Dave Dodge — Mon, 15 May 2006 00:06:13 +0000

A while ago I gave head to an LJ friend of mine… and by “giving head” I mean that I gave him some pictures of my head: facing forward, to the left, and to the right. He needed the pictures for a project that he was working on for a class.

Using those pictures he sculpted a head out of wax. He finished it a while ago and I asked if I could show the pictures here but then I forgot all about doing so.

Using these images…

He created this…
