NCD - new canvas day
« on: July 31, 2009, 05:28:05 PM »
I seem to be developing into a bit of a comic book geek, mainly thanks to discovering Alan Moores work a few years ago.  Now thanks to noticing my fiancee reading Graham Linehans post on twitter (tweats??) i picked up some copies of The Goon, which I have really enjoyed.
so much so that i needed some on my walls:


i suppose its better than on my skin - thats where swamp thing is probably going!

indeed.

What i really like is a swamp thing/greenman idea.  I need to see if i can get it to work without looking cheesy but i have an idea for my upper left arm.  right arms already taken by some flowery arty stuff

wez, if you can get looking at some of the Swamp Thing stuff from soon after Alan Moore left and Rick Veitch was writing it, there was a lot of stuff about the parliament of trees and previous plant elementals.  one was a medieval englishman and he was known as something like Jack in the Rushes or Jack in the Fen.  might be of some interest to you if you're looking that kind of tattoo

Thx for the heads up blue, it was th tree elemental stuff i was thinking of

imagine this as a shoulder piece with oak leaves spreading out onto chest, back and down the arm



as it is the image wouldnt make a good tattoo, not for me anyway as i like things that can be seen from across the room!! but the layout is good and i want to see if i can develop it into something simpler, bolder and more like the actual comic illustrations

my leg was £240


and i think my arm came to about £400 in the end, although that was done in stages and may not yet be finished, i am happy with it for now but keep getting other ideas to develop it - so i have decided to leave it alone for a year or two first. apologies for the washed out photo

thought id show off mine.
only had the spare money to get into thise recently. and my mum passed away from cancer in May, so i though this would be a good first tattoo. now im hooked. no plans for any themes. just ideas for single tattoos.
adding to this arm on monday. i want a harmonica at some point in addition to what i mentioned before.
