I Give My Left Arm to the Maya

November 7th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

I almost forgot to mention that I had a little tattoo work done in the middle of the wedding festivities (sandwiched somewhere in between “joining my life with Jillian’s” and “drinking scotch”). I assure you, I am not at all the kind of fella that runs around posting pictures of his tattoos on the internet, because, quite frankly, it would be impossible for me to impress high school kids any more than I already do. It would just be a waste. But, because it kind of relates to our life here in Mexico, and because my friend Maggie demanded it (and I do what Maggie says), here are the photos of my nod to the Maya:

It’s not finished yet…as you can see, only the mask on top has been shaded. I will be going up to Maine this winter to get it finished, and maybe have some more stuff added. This work was done by the always amazing Seth at Atlantic Studios in Rockland, Maine. Seth is an incredible artist, and I have known him since we were five years old, so having him do the work was a particular treat. He came up with this drawing after one trip to Uxmal and a couple of glances at a few postcards, and I am really happy with his work. If you’re ever in the mid-coast area, stop in and say hello.
