Lend a hand

John Joyce and Brian Decker were both cutting my face when Casey took this picture. It was either the last cutting or close to it of the last night of Scarwars3 in Philadelphia, October of 2007. The boys were cutting into scar tissue from my previous facial cutting(s) and the pain was starting to spike....

scarwars 935 No Pictures?

Sorry it’s been so quiet here at the SW blog; my life has become very busy lately and regrettably the blog is one of the things that’s had to suffer in the face of not having enough time for everything.

Things are finally slowing down and hopefully I’ll be able to get back to a daily SW update.

Tonight we have our old friend Brian (photographed in ‘06 at SWLA) apologizing for the lack of picture updates. Brian and I will be traveling a bit soon;

Easter weekend we’ll be in Dallas, TX for the SusCon.
May 2-8 we’ll be in Las Vegas for the APP conference.

So expect much more of Brian in the coming weeks!

Merry Christmas

geometric scarification

Things are quiet at Scarwars central.
My hectic work schedule has crept to a halt (which means the book/shirts ship on Monday!) for the time being and it’s time to slow down and spend some holiday time with the family.

I’ve just made a batch of deviled eggs (with bacon and truffle salt) and Claire whipped up some tasty froot loop treats; soon we’ll be in the car headed for the P5 Compound and 4 days of relaxation and present swapping.

My present to you guys/gals is this fine cutting from our good friend Thorsten. Done at SW2 in LA and documented by the spirit of Christmas himself, Atom Moore.

Happy Holidays!

wayde dunn scarification scarwars

I was just thinking the other day “man, the blog needs more Wayde Dunn”,
Since it’s been a while since the Thunda has sent in new scar pics, I took the ‘roo by the tail and found a photo OF Big Red taken at SW3 by Atom Moore. While it’s not quite the same as one of Mr. Dunn’s expert cuttings, it certainly ups the testosterone of the main page.

Crikey!

scarification by keylan levine

Keylan holds the record for being both the youngest and the tallest artist ever to work a SW event. This shot (taken by the ever-bearded Atom Moore at SW3) features the lanky Levine and a very fresh tiki mask cutting/removal.

My schedule has been VERY hectic lately- I’d like to apologize to everyone who ordered the Fall/Winter book & shirt combo. I’ve not been able to get to the printers to pick up the shirts. The books are ready and numbered, the packages made out, I’m just waiting to get a free minute to go pick the shirts up. My work week is 60+ hours right now and it’s regrettably not left any time for extras; you have my thanks for purchasing the combo, my apologies for the delay and my hope that you’ll be patient while I get everything sorted out.

scarification

I promised Tiana that I wouldn’t embarrass her on her birthday by making a post here on the scarblog. But since her birthday has come and gone….

Here’s a great shot that Atom took at the SW3 event in Philly. I’m fairly sure the removal piece was done by Ryan Ouellette of PBA. I probably should have checked before I started working on this update… but cookies and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince distracted me.

Fall Winter 2009 book

scarification book

Aaaaand they’re in!
After some delays (you know who you are) the Fall/Winter book is finally in. I’m still waiting on the shirts, but rest assured that they’re going to be badass.

Eventually there will be a massive full sized (and maybe an oversized) SW book. I have so many images to choose from that I find myself constantly revising and reediting the book in it’s current state… I’m eventually going to bring in a co-editor who’s not so emotionally attached to the images and who will kick my ass into gear and get you guys a finished product. Eventually.

Until then, thanks so much to the folks who picked this version up!
