Due to the recent earthquake in christchurch we are closed, we lost a great friend that day, a beautiful human being by the name of "Matti Mceachen" he was a great apprentice, a brilliant artist and one of the nicest guys we ever had the pleasure to know. Matti lived his life to the full, in his 25 years on this planet he achieved more than alot of people could only dream of. one of his favourite sayings was " replace a negative with a positive " and this rang true in him. he was so pure of thought, he lived life to the fullest and was very happy learning the art of tattooing and drawing portraits that we used to tweak and tweak again till they were just right. we would then stand back and talk about how a painting is never finished only abandoned.
Matti was very spiritual,he believed like me we are spiritual beings having a human experience, he believed there was no i, that was just ego and he had nearly mastered it. he was an old soul, you only had to look into his eyes to know that. he used to call me jedi master and i called him Luke because the force was strong in him :) we love you Matti, and like we talked about were in the same soul cluster i'm sure, i cant wait to see you again.
