Everybody who takes their craft seriously--whether they paint or sculpt or weld or write--has a unique voice, a distinct flavor. If they're really good, you know them immediately; there's no need to see their signature on their work...you just know it's them...
This is my son-in-law doing the work he does. He is a painter (the artistic kind, not the wall kind) and a tattoo artist. (Jason is gifted as well as unique. He usually wears a dress shirt and tie when he works, but this photo was taken at his home.)
(I asked Cathy C. Hall's husband if it was okay with him if I got a tattoo. He said, "Sure, as long as you're married to someone else besides me!")
I've had the tattoo for a month now, have gotten used to it, and am no longer startled when I see something there on my flesh...something that was not there for the first 50+ years of my life.
What is your brand? How do readers know it is you when they read your words? How do you plan on leaving your "mark" on this world?
