New maori tattoo gallery optimized for Ipad and Iphone

Hi,<br /><br />I recently bought an <a href="http://www.google.nl/search?um=1&hl=nl&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:nl:official&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=VqbiTZfWK8mD-waFqvGCBw&ved=0CDYQBSgA&q=Apple+Ipad+2&spell=1&biw=1600&bih=719">Apple Ipad2</a> and use it mainly for shooting pictures and recording movies of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmicK0P2b-A&feature=related">design process</a>. I can easily add these photos to my twitter messages (<a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/storm3d">@storm3d</a>) and upload the movies to Youtube.com in a few clicks. It's also very usefull for quickly browsing the web...<br /><br />There's only one big downside to Apple products, and that's the fact that Apple doesn't support the Adobe Flash plugin. For my website galleries, I use(d) the "simpleviewer" <a href="http://simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/">plugin</a>, that creates a really nice and simple Flash gallery with a thumbnail and a larger image next or above it.<br /><br />Now I use my Ipad, I see that a lot of mobile visitors cannot see the designs in my gallery, so I had to make changes to it.<br /><br />My website design is based on the principles of the "Save the Pixel" e-book by <a href="http://www.savethepixel.org/">Ben Hunt</a>, which states that the design should be as simple as possible and every pixel should contribute to the main goal of the website.<br /><br />Keeping this in mind, I redesigned the tattoo galleries. Here's a picture of the 'before' gallery:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE_aZdM0RcBWFnpD0fgUewPn15XWsmxki9OBRUEdeoqlRGbnKPRRvxHxljsjNGwea_wcedfYbLf0EVTbYrUW_0emjRn0IH8DkNKObBa1VCTFPb_pPoyK_6SwlzwrJxRKGXrf5CT5RpqR8/s1600/flash-gallery-with-maori-tattoos-for-sale-designer-artist.jpg"><img alt="flash gallery with maori tattoos for sale designer artist" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612224310609494178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE_aZdM0RcBWFnpD0fgUewPn15XWsmxki9OBRUEdeoqlRGbnKPRRvxHxljsjNGwea_wcedfYbLf0EVTbYrUW_0emjRn0IH8DkNKObBa1VCTFPb_pPoyK_6SwlzwrJxRKGXrf5CT5RpqR8/s400/flash-gallery-with-maori-tattoos-for-sale-designer-artist.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 313px;" /></a>The red marked area is the flash movie containing the maori tattoo gallery.<br /><br />People could scroll through the images and see the number and price of the design.<br /><br />Before ordering it, customers had to select the correct tattoo nr. from the dropdown list and hit the "Buy Now" button.<br /><br /><br />People often selected the wrong tattoo and bought the piece they didn't want.<br /><br /><br /><br />To get rid of this problem I decided to implement the Lightbox plugin/script to my gallery instead of the simpleviewer movie.<br />One other advantage was that I could add the size and price of the design in the header/description and even add a Paypal button, so it became impossible to order the wrong tatoo design.<br /><br />The new gallery is now looking like this, with the lightbox frame popping up:<br /><br /><a href="http://storm3d.com/maori_tattoo_designs/maori_tattoo_gallery.html"><img alt="maori tattoo gallery high resolution designs for sale" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612229815984301394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4cnuaZR2x6SJy79r2YgQ0C1m3S-8lqH924ty-ZkKel-CI77v0K9RHEYRA4mJjspMGZyD7-MxWqltKIKxera6csGEdtkiUXz_ZB6anycvWELyD4sG7k8QmlIdFc5SfjP2D80izek1CjYU/s400/maori-tattoo-gallery-high-resolution-designs-for-sale.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 250px;" /></a><a href="http://storm3d.com/maori_tattoo_designs/buy_maori_tattoo_designs_online.html"><img alt="lightbox plugin for tattoo gallery webshop paypal button" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612228709638569906" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKO404TIo_gaDGv-_6lClSJk_qrp-bP-ndVYCpHsfNPZSCsX3CBtWzYYopyW5KK_dzZ2JFBcLy0x-rBu1tmPFCRYPKeRo1jJsOBRSWk5m56ppMk4DaeCxJNMsMQrsOpHyVIzK4F_DzBOo/s400/lightbox-plugin-for-tattoo-gallery-webshop-paypal-button.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 250px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So if you have an Ipad, Ipod or Iphone, please check it out and let me know if there's anything I can change to improve it.<br /><br />Kind regards, Mark Storm<br />info@storm3d.com

Extension shoulder tattoo in Polynesian mixed style

Hi,<br /><br />Last year I created a half sleeve tattoo in polynesian style for a Dutch customer. It's a bit of a mixed tribal style, it has some stylized flowers and other repetitive shapes:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3arYV41Jo-p7N4ThzMlzqfwBLBSx0RqHBxkIfI1MTX-fx028kThVZQ7RAYFPLaeKM3HLPN7zU6fNj8mfvVTSF66j2bk6JzMcYOOuNw1ShWT1rZK3vGRK4VVQf5D2GBeX1US8P_Cbrmms/s1600/custom-maori-mixed-tattoo-design-flowers-tribal.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="custom maori mixed tattoo design with flowers tribal" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610986217515105522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3arYV41Jo-p7N4ThzMlzqfwBLBSx0RqHBxkIfI1MTX-fx028kThVZQ7RAYFPLaeKM3HLPN7zU6fNj8mfvVTSF66j2bk6JzMcYOOuNw1ShWT1rZK3vGRK4VVQf5D2GBeX1US8P_Cbrmms/s400/custom-maori-mixed-tattoo-design-flowers-tribal.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 400px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEp7P5IT04UA2Nnjr2YoqUsTxMtzyR6ldGnTctHxW4TxbI8B8AJ3PZjUkbB5SLEw3W_ow4vVVVC1e6p8vorAOREQv-2svQtFPCZgxr6-EC0DHud7D-FnwXjymcdK0-DCI-ssjGSaCtPwE/s1600/polynesian-tribal-flash-half-sleeve-tattoos-for-sale.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="polynesian tribal flash halfsleeve tattoos for sale" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610985877646648658" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEp7P5IT04UA2Nnjr2YoqUsTxMtzyR6ldGnTctHxW4TxbI8B8AJ3PZjUkbB5SLEw3W_ow4vVVVC1e6p8vorAOREQv-2svQtFPCZgxr6-EC0DHud7D-FnwXjymcdK0-DCI-ssjGSaCtPwE/s400/polynesian-tribal-flash-half-sleeve-tattoos-for-sale.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 270px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Unfortunately the tattoo artist applied the stencil too small, so it now needs some extensions.<br /><br />I marked the upper shoulder part that had to be inked.<br /><br /><br />I created a basic sketch and once it was approved I finalized it. To give you an idea how that process works I shot a short movie and placed it on youtube:<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dmicK0P2b-A" allowfullscreen="" width="560" frameborder="0" height="349"></iframe><br /><br />If you liked this video, or want to see more, please take a look on my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/wwwstorm3d">youtube channel</a> or visit my website <a href="http://www.storm3d.com/">Storm3d.com</a><br /><br />Kind regards, Mark Storm<br />info@storm3d.com<br />www.storm3d.com
