I am an artist with an obsession for insects, pencils, and shoes.

My Hi-Octane Red Head Gasoline shoulder stamp. I call it a stamp because it's a very well placed warning or invitation, depending on who you are and what mood I'm in. It is very much my personality - from the bright hair to the "hi-octane" part of it. I'm an all-in kind of gal. I'm called matchstick, gingersnap, and bricktop because of my hair. The image is the logo from an old gasoline company, I think from the 30s, and this was their match book cover image. My tattoist Harlan Thompson from Pioneer and I decided to slightly modify the graphic to make it a good tattoo. In the graphic there is a circle around the image, but we determined it was best to leave out the circle to avoid any warped perspective on the skin. So he implied the circle with the text. I think it's fantastic and apparently so does everyone else. I get a lot of shouts on the street about it and people on the bus asking to take a picture of it.
