tatehunt Report post Posted February 13, 2012 This one is for me. A Stanley Mouse nod (one of my favorite graphic artists), and a bit of Sailor Jerry carvings thrown in. My first time coloring with acrylic, wanted more of a rough and tumble rock-n-roll distressed feel instead of neat and clean. It is all hand stitched, and I used a mix of tooling and pyro on the skeleton on the back, and parts of the crown for extra shading. Pics Continued...

McJeep Report post Posted February 14, 2012 Great detail Always get a kick out of seeing sailor gerry's stuff used today - I've got one of his pieces on my arm from wayyyyyyyy back ;0) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tatehunt Report post Posted February 14, 2012 Great detail Always get a kick out of seeing sailor gerry's stuff used today - I've got one of his pieces on my arm from wayyyyyyyy back ;0) I love his bold lines and clean style. I had always wanted to do some of his art in leather, but needed to wait until doing a piece for myself, as I would never resell his artwork and violate copyright. Happy to say, I think his work looks great on skin, dead or alive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to know if someone requests it in the future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tatehunt Report post Posted February 20, 2012 Nice job on that - I especially like the asymmetric front flap. Thanx for sharing! Thanks for looking and commenting! I was looking to something a bit different with the front, hence the asymmetry. Glad you liked it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyberthrasher Report post Posted February 20, 2012 Great job on the bag. I've been looking at it for days getting technique ideas. In regards to the copyright issues, remember people pay for the flash designs which gives them the license to use it in their tattoo art. So, if you've paid for the flash sheet - no problems. But, if you found the design on line, I'd say good call on reserving it for your own stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
