Okay, babies and gentlemen. We have a winner and they are...going to have to wait just a little longer! FACE!!!
In the meantime though, some of you may remember my cross stitch tattoo. For those of you who do not, here is a trip down memory lane. When I left I asked my artist, Nick, what he was into. First he mentioned G.G. Alin and finally just said the more out there the better. He had a lot of art in his little tattoo cave that he had done that was more traditional but inspired by modern times as well. The old-timey female boxer with the Stormtrooper helmet was a personal favorite.
Long story short I grabbed some old fabric I had around and using just black, gray and white I came up with this:
Also, I have been so taken by my tattoo and the response that I think it has become my little "signature" for smaller pieces. So whenever I think "Whatever James" is too much stitching for a signature I will just do this:
Does this symbolic representation of my name make me the "Prince" of cross stitch? I hope so because I want to Batdance!

I love the idea of a symbol instead of a name as your signature. Awesome!
