Pin-up

Add comment September 28th, 2009

This pin-up is based on an Elvgrin piece at a picnic. Some minor things were changed, like color in the blouse so as not to make the tattoo so orange and the bottle of soda to a Seagram bottle. The pin-up is smaller then I typically like to do but he wanted to stay on this arm for now and wanted to keep it under the script that he had from before.

I got as much detail as I could in the face since it’s at just under an inch in length. All in all I’m very happy with it.

Zombie Cholo Cover-up

This is a customer supplied piece of art. He did a name on his forearm a couple months back and then he realized the name was going to mess up the flow of what he had planned for the future. He then did everything you’re not supposed to do to fade the tattoo so it could be covered.

The tattoo wasn’t bad just an instant case of buyers remorse. He brought me the art and I used the hat to cover the name and hopefully it will stay covered even after it peels. It may need another sitting of gray wash but I would rather build it up instead of having to just pound black into the skin.

This is a piece I did on Monday. It is an Aristocrat Pig, along the likes of the George Orwell book Animal Farm. Representing a social commentary of today’s society.

The piece is over 12 inches tall done in one session
