Latest Bag

[tatehunt]

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.

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.

Hmmmmm, I'm not really sure if there would be copyright things to deal with - I've seen alllll kinds of tattoo artists using his flash art before

I didn't think of the thousands of artists who have used his flash art for tattooing. Good to know if someone requests it in the future.

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.

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.
