A couple of weeks ago Natan had a chance to finish up one of his finest Japanese koi fishes to date! His repeat client and shop friend, Mickel, had been coming in for a couple of hours of work on his half sleeve every few weeks and now his piece is completely done, fine-tuned, and healed. Natan utilized the freedom Mickel gave him in working on his half-sleeve to explore some intricate color theory relationships, challenge himself to approach traditional finger waves from a new angle, and keep a tight control on balancing hyper-bright areas of detail against strong, solid, dark wind-bars in the background.

Natan is always excited to dive into new large-scale custom work that challenges him to top or re-invent subjects from his past body of work, so make sure to ring us up or just pop on by the shop if you’ve got any ideas you would like to work on with him!
