Tattoopalooza

It is my intention to FINALLY update the tattoo area on this here website thingy. December is a little slow at the shop, so plenty of time… right?
I’ll post the pics here as well, as I get them ready for the portfolio and tattoo galleries.
Here’s a few of that polynesian style that I seem to do a lot of. The pec and shoulder from about 2 years ago, and the leg from this spring. 2 different clients, Ken and Gordon.

B.M.s for instigator

I just finished this piece for Thorn over at INSTIGATOR to be popped into an interview with Brad McGuire and his BF. It was fun to do so… there was a time when Brad was my favorite porn star :)

Anyways look for it in the next issue of that mag.
Cheers, droogies.

Fresno Bully Rescue

Sammy smiles

It’s been a little more than a year since I adopted Sammy, my pitt/pointer mix. I can’t believe how far he’s come and what an amazing dog he is. Obviously I am very thankful that I got him, and for the people who fostered him and the rescue that took him in before I gave him his forever-home, as they say.
I want to give some props to the Fresno Bully Rescue and the great people who work there. Check out their website and help them out if you can :)

Bent Comix Sampler

dave's cover
Hey all, just as an FYI, I’ve been proud to have instigated the BENT COMIX group, a co-op of gay adult comic book creators to hopefully have strength in numbers and a louder voice and larger presence. We put out a sampler a few months back, featuring teasers of work from : Brad Rader, Sean-Z, Sam Saturday, JC Etheredge, Ed Luce, Gravity Faggots, Belasco, Justin Hall, Steve MacIsaac, and myself (Dave Davenport). Some excerpts, some new work (my contribution is exclusive to the sampler).  The book is manga sized, full color, and features a cover by Brad Rader, and one by me.
