just starting this one , here is a geisha girl i drew up and decided to use it fora case it will be a 1x2 envelope style case with a lid, it will be fully tooled then painted, for those of you who dont know mei am a full time tattoo artist i own my own studio here in new jersey, my tattoo work and artwork have been published in many many tattoo magazines as well as books, here in the u.s germany japan and holland, i draw my own artwork mainly doing the traditinal japanese themed style of work cause thats what i love to do , i also tattoo leather i have a tattooed case in the works but i will not post pics untill its all finished, i have two cases on here for sale , the tiger case was for a az member but i couldnt get it finished in a reasonable amount of time due to work getting married etc.. lifein general , so thats why the two cases i have on here are for sale, so to my point people have been asking why i dont take orders , basically i just have to much going on to commit to any time frame which is why i just build cases when i have time and when they are done they go up for sale, my cases are very limited maybe 5-10 a year ok well i hope everyone enjoys the pics i post , even though they really need to be seen in person to appriciate , pics never seem to do them any justis

That looks like the makings of a magnificent case.

I have a modest collection of late 19th century Ukyo-e. These old wood-block originals are quite valuable and truly a sight to behold. The jewel of the collection is a Hiroshige (signature pictured). If you want to discuss trading some Japanese art for some Japanese theme cue cases I might be interested.

In any event, thank you for posting this great progress pic. I hope you'll send me a PM anytime you have a case available or would consider taking a custom order.
