John’s all-time favourite movie is the original Helen Slater Supergirl (I’m not exaggerating when I say that he knows it word-for-word), so for his birthday this year I commissioned the incredible IBTrav to create this original artwork. (Yes, the same IBTrav whose artwork I used for my tattoo!) I was so excited when I received this amazing finished design that my biggest struggle was not showing it to John the second it arrived! 💙❤️️
…or at least my arm. Based on one of my favourite concept art sketches of Ariel by her character designer and animator: the legendary Glen Keane. Tattoo itself by the always wonderful Gillian Turner Ink at the Otherworld Tattoo Parlour in Glasgow.
John, meanwhile, went a slightly more villainous route, and opted for his personal favourite – Sleeping Beauty’s Maleficent.
Aging gracefully in the Provand’s Lordship – medieval dwelling and the oldest remaining house in Glasgow. Because what better way to make me feel better about my birthday than surrounding myself with things even older than I am.
And, bringing us fully up to date, the latter half of 2015. (Hey, this is still a step up from posting the last set of Halloween photos in January!)
