Although I've been criticized for "all the tattoo stuff is just piled on with no rhyme, reason or flow." I'm actually quite happy with the final product. I do know that I do borrow many themes and imagery from those I am inspired by, so yes, I lack creativity in the originality department, but as far as composition and creating a new images from all those things I borrow from, I think I am fairly good. The main deterrent from creating new and exciting imagery is my lack of drawing ability. I see things in my head that I would like to create but without heavy reference, anatomny, shape, shading is pretty haphazard. Maybe one day...



Typical Shirt Comp



Ugly and Gaudy version.



Update on Mother - I am eternally grateful Design.

I think this is going to be a tough one to finish. I see too many things I want to clutter the piece with. Don't try to hate on my affinity for destroying a simplistic design with details. If I wanted to make simple stuff, I would draw happy cartoons. Maybe one day on that too. I should choose a month where I let everyone tell me what to do, and truly sell out.
