Tattoo Flash...

 

My wife is a tattoo artist and she's been at me for ages to do some tattoo flash in "my style" for a while so I finally got around to doing a couple... 

Maori Murray by Karla Jane - Please Post Bills

Karla Jane / www.geekfreeks.com

Ko Wiremu Murray tēnei. He rangatira a ia. I whānau mai a ia i Wilmete Illinois, he wāhi kei tuauru o Michigan. He katorika ōna mātua. Nō Airihi me Amerika rāua.

Which roughly translates to:
Ko Wiremu Murray tenei (this is Bill Murray) He rangatira a ia. (He is a chief). I whanau mai a ia i Wilmete Illinois, (he was born in Wilmete Illinois) he wahi kei tuauru o Michigan. (A place west of michigan.) He katorika ona matua. (His parents are catholic). No Airihi me Amerika raua. (They were from Ireland and America.)

This is my contribution to Please Post Bills. Since I am from New Zealand I wanted to do something that traditionally represented that and as that I am a tattoo artist I was inspired by traditional Maori tattooing. So I decided to make Bill Murray a Maori Chief by giving him a Ta Moko (traditional Maori Tattoo) by stitching through the paper which I water coloured, hope you like!!
Maori pronounced like Mouldy but slightly roll the r!!

Art for 'A Sailor's Grave' art show

I am extremely excited to be a part of this show. My girlfriend and I will be at the opening to catch up with friends and admire all the art.

This is my contribution to the show - an original scratchboard piece with hand painted colors done with actual tattoo ink set in a box frame. I have recently begun studying the actual application of tattoos so I will be placing this piece on someone soon.

Mermaid painting for A Sailors Grave

Here is my piece for the "A Sailor's Grave" art show @ the Sailor Jerry Store, opening Friday (11/12) at 8. I wanted to do something that had Sailor Jerry's simplistic detail, and used the traditional tattoo colors of black, green and red. I sketched out what I wanted to do, then broke out 3 stencils for each color. Rather than using solid colors, I went over areas, then added light sprays of black for shading. I think it has a lot more depth than my usual work. Once that was done, I went drew in the detail with a fine point paint marker. I'm extremely excited for this show, and I hope to see a lot of familiar faces at the opening.

FUN FACT: we originally wanted the show to be called "Booze, Broads, and Boats," but SJ decided to change it.

3G show piece by Scott Derby: Ghostbusters

 scottderby.blogspot.com

Hey all,

Here is my second piece for the upcoming 3G Show at Gallery 1988, this time paying homage to Ghostbusters with a new take on the "Kill 'em All Let God Sort 'em Out" motto... Let me know what you think!

3G show piece by Scott Derby

Hey all,

Since everyone seems to be starting to post their 3G pieces for the show at Gallery 1988 on September 3rd, I figured I throw my hat (or derby?) into the ring.
I decided to go with a tattoo flash theme to all 3 of my pieces, with the first one being my Gremlin's piece. Based on the old school tattoo idea of "Man's Ruin" which usually shows various items of temptation such as liquor, dice, playing cards, women of ill repute, etc. I decided to showcase items from the 3 rules of caring for a gremlin or "Mogwai"; 1) No bright light; 2) Never get them wet; and 3) Never EVER feed them after midnight.... Hope you enjoy!
Best

Jess' Helmet

After much trial and error it's done! Finding the correct medium to keep the damn paint on this thing was a challenge in itself! But here it is! Done and I'm pretty proud about it

The Illustrated Poe

As you might recall, this past February, Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction put on a juried art exhibition called "The Great Lincoln! Memorial Tableaux" to celebrate Lincoln's 2ooth birthday. I created the well received "Lincoln's Ghost" illustration for that show, that went on to be a part of the Lincoln 200 exhibition at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia in July.

AITA now has an open call for entries for their 200th birthday celebration of writer and past Philly resident, the one and only, Edgar Allen Poe. Here is my submission. I have titled it, "The Illustrated Poe". Click on the image for a larger view. Wish me luck!
Enjoy,

La Colaboraćion

"In Mexico the first and second of November belong to the dead. According to popular belief, the deceased have divine permission to visit friends and relatives on earth, and to share the pleasures of the living." - Chloe Sayer, Mexico: The Day of the Dead: An Anthology

"La Colaboraćion", Pen and Ink, Photoshop

This is my submission for the Dia de los Muertos Show. It's a self-portrait with my Uncle Mike, who was a great artist and art teacher, and who was probably the person most responsible for making wee little Jay B. think that an artist was a really cool thing to be. He loved Halloween and he used to make my brother and I Halloween cards decorated with Roger-Dean-meets-Tim-Burton pumpkin landscape type imagery (I know, right? Even on the envelopes! )
He was smart and brave and wickedly sarcastic.
He was thoughtful and generous to a fault.
He'd love this.

That's him there with my boy.

Shiver Me Timbers

Hey Yall!

it's been a while but here's a new piece. This is been floating around in the old brain for quite a while, and I finally had some free time to do it. This is pretty much how I saw in in my head, except for the mappy background, which I came up with off the top. Hope you like her. Oh, btw this piece features a first in my pin up series-- nipple! Had to happen sooner or later. ENJOY!

¡Hola!

Hello my name is... Frost215 or you might know me also as EL TORO.

Thanks to Chogrin for inviting me to be a part of the blog and just wanted to say hi to my fellow artists and readers.

Old School Ink...

Just finished two of a series of 3 (Frogger isn't done yet...) of video game related tattoo flash for the upcoming 8-Bit show. Much thanks to Montygog Perillo for feeding me some great ideas...

First post

This is my first post so I figured I'd post something recent and get some feedback. My name is Matt Doherty I graduated from Uarts in the spring of 08. I am now currently working as a tattoo artist in South Jersey. The shop that I work at is called Mystic Eye Tattoo. Here are some of my Tattoo pics. as well

new things

its been a little while since my last post, but have been trying some new things. Some of you already know I was given a tattoo kit as a gift, and figured why not give it a go so its been a little over a month with the kit and i think i really like doing this. It feels good when someone actually wants your artwork permantley put on them. but anyways here are some of the tattoos and check my website i have alot of new works and a new section with tattoo flash... Get yours today!
