David Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) I've been into tattoo style art on leather for about 3 years now. I've done a few bike seats in the tattoo style. Unfortunately I'm in Ohio, not N Calif. Dave Theobald Edited October 18, 2009 by David Quote
Members rhona Posted November 29, 2009 Members Report Posted November 29, 2009 Hello everyone! Well I'm sure you guys and gals are used to hearing it all on this site. I have been working with leather for 6 short years now and I love applying my quirky tattoo style artwork to leather. I do not tattoo, but it is interesting to carve on leather (let's people have tattoos without the permanence) and it has been selling well. I am very interested in meeting progressive minded leather artists in the northern California area, no that's not a pick up line, I have found that most leather workers that I have met in this area are not able to step away from the Stohlman era floral carvings. I'm not knocking the sheridan stuff, I'm just looking to move to another step and I believe it's time for me to look outside of my box as the tattoo thing will only last so long. Well happy tooling to all and to all prosperous times! Dave of Leather Ink. Hi Dave! You have great work and a great idea. I've always been wanting to try out some tatoo designs on leather, but never got around to collecting tatoo graphics yet. I'm all with you on this-moving another step beyond the conventional way of doing leather work! As a matter of fact, I've been doing leather work for umptin years now and I have never heard of Al Stohlman nor Sheridan till I recently got into these leather artisans forums.LOL! Though I am not from the Northern California area, nor close to it at all,I hope you are not closing your doors on me, LOL! for I could say, I am a progressive leather artisan, eversince my romance with leather begun Keep pounding, keep painting Rhona Baguio, Philippines rhonacarantes@multiply.com Quote
Members Desiree Posted November 30, 2009 Members Report Posted November 30, 2009 Hi Dave, Leatherwork and tattooing seem to go together quite well. I also like applying the aesthetics and motifs of traditional tattoos to my leather craft. I haven't met very many leatherworkers yet, but it seems like almost all of those I have met have tattoos (including me) Quote Phée Adornments: Etsy | Blog | deviantART | Facebook
