Yesterday we finished this fun project a custom illustrative rose accompanied by a cartoon pinup illustration that my clients daughter drew when she was younger, it was fun to take a character from someone else and bring it to life as a tattoo and I love the centipede vibe and the color palette we used on this and I’d be excited to do more like this anything bright and colorful is always my jam!

Had the pleasure of laying down this classic art religious sleeve, a classic black and gray Virgin Mary and saint Sebastian with an accompanying seraphim and dove.

Here’s what we came up with!

Striving to make my clients vision come to life the way they picture it is a skill I didn’t ask for but am super thrilled to say I can do very well, with that this 3 year adventure comes to a close and we can move onto the upper portion of this illustrative Japanese inspired color half sleeve, the vision evolved over the years while working mid project and this is the result of a collaboration between artist and client to be honest we may take a few more side missions to add some additional texture and contrast when we add the top!
