I thought this was a great Illustration Friday topic this week; I had fun :) I’d love to design a tattoo.
‘No Fear,’ Pen and ink and Sakura Microns on Bristol Board, 6″ x 9″
Here’s the pencil drawing I started with. You can also see some of my reference material for this image. I had a lot of fun researching tattoos and knew that my tattoo had to have flames and a skull…
Have a good weekend.
Excellent idea and execution. I think you could design a great tatoo.
I really like this… and pretty much everything about it!
very funny. i like it!

your style is very unique, the detail in your drawings set them apart, i love your imagination and best of all you explain your process… the playdough penquin rules!
Excellent illustration and great idea to share with us its schetch.
I love it.
You work fast! Great illo and take on “tattoo”!
I really like this! The skull reminds me of those old american tombstones that have the skulls and birds etc carved into them. I also like the contrast between detail of the skull image, and the cartoon qualityof the little dude.
Really enjoyed your illustration; Wonderful perspective.

love the little guy holding the balloon/tattoo – Great perspective too!
Beautiful – and ugly! great!
Great work !
This would make a great tattoo, but it would have to be on some very scary looking person. It also makes a wonderful balloon. Great job…love those micron oens:>
Wonerful, a littel Mexican day of the dead meets Russian matryoshka in an imaginary world of helium.
What a great illo. I love seeing other artist’s set ups.
Cool spooky skull! I love the contrast between the realistic skull, and and your super fun characters.

Superb! Very much in Edward Gorey’s style but you are more free in your own style.

I love it! Skulls and flames, too funny!
The Sakura Microns make my life a better place!!
You have a unique style! Really amazing! And this is a great piece.
The varied textures add a lot of depth and make the piece come together.
I also like the fact that you take pics of your production process. I’ve been thinking about doing it myself.
