Finally completed~~this new version contains two koi instead of one along with a frog. I'm not sure if I would include the frog if I were to do this one again.
Clear swirly Baroque glass for the sky along with streaky blue/green Waterglass for the water. The 'sandy' bottom is of two shades of amber glass. Same spotted green glass that I used for the last frog project. Both the koi and the frog have black glass gems for their eyes. Wispy orange, black Waterglass and parts of white Baroque glass used for the koi.
Measures at 16 inches diameter, appx 40.5cm.

These are my koi fish at dinner time. They are very fun to watch eat. They swarm around like sharks all trying to get the SAME piece of food. :)
I enjoy my koi VERY MUCH,but not as much as Paris...:)

A pond of koi fishes, a symbol of wealth and prosperity
The koi fish are a variety of carp that is now bred in captivity to retain the beautiful colors that are distinctive to the fish. While many know about the koi in Japan, the fish was actually imported into Japan from China. The origin of the fish into China is a debated subject, but many believe that the fish originally came from Persia and was then bred in captivity in a similar manner as the Chinese goldfish until mutations resulted in the beautiful koi seen in modern society. In China, the fish are often called jin-li and have many associations to mythology and symbolism that are still found in the culture in modern times.
Though koi are primarily a symbol for ambition in China, they are also considered a symbol of wealth and luck. Seven golden koi kept in a pond is supposed to bring prosperity to the owner of the pond. Beyond just the seven koi, if the fish grows to a large size it is also considered lucky when looking at wealth and prosperity.
Along with the legend of dragons, the fish is sometimes associated with the common symbol for balance in China: the yin and yang. This is a more recent symbolism relating to tattoos rather than stemmed in the history of the culture. The yin and yang koi shows two fish swimming in a circle around each other in the classic colors of the symbol: black and white. The symbol represents perfect balance and harmony.
Koi is a beautiful fish long associated with myths and legends. In China, the main symbol of the fish is wealth and prosperity resulting in power. It is also associated with luck, balance and courage. In the Chinese culture, it is a lucky fish to own.

These are images of my first tattoo. A half-sleeve of a Koi Fish swimming upstream, a Hanya Mask underneath, surrounded by the essence of water and lotus flowers.
The tattoo was done by Federico Ferroni of South Beach Tattoo. It took 3 sittings of 8 hours each.

Sideways Autosalon's hand painted 2002 Subaru WRX. I shot the blue/orange side, then moved the car and shot the monochrome side.
This was an unexpected shot, and for some reason, I only had one AB800 and my Vagabond Mini, so I put the camera on self timer and lit each part of the car separately for both sides then merged them together in photoshop
