Knot a dragon...

Ugh, horrible pun. It only has 2 paws so it looks like a mix of snake and dragon, maybe... My previous attempts (of completely different drawings) were failures, so this final one was done in a rush as I was getting annoyed.

Tribal dragon

I tried to design a dynamic tribal dragon, because a friend kept asking me to do a tribal critter (a wolf, actually), and a dragon was the only thing that inspired me.

And guess what? I'm actually not very found of tribal tattoos on skin, but they are fun to draw on paper ;)  (... And a lot less fun to vectorise, unfortunately. So: pencil + Inkscape)

Also, the shape of the spikes are a kind of tip of the hat to this over-used and over-stolen (but still awesome) dragon from 2004, by RG571. (As far as I know, the size was decreased and the watermark was added long after it appeared everywhere on the net.)

Ugly Corvettes or Art Cars in Disguise?

Ugly Corvettes or Art Cars in Disguise that is the question I have for you today. Over at Jalopnik
this Dragon Corvette is considered ugly but here its an art car in "process". Even though it was voted "single worst custom Corvette in history" it will find save haven here with the rest of us who took perfectly good cars and added "personal" touches. While I was out an about I found a few more corvettes that needed to come out of the rain.

Random triskele tribal tattoos

Moving the "old" tattoo designs from blog to blog...
(Why the hell didn't I put the blog address & license on those? They're already "stolen" in many places ¬_¬. As if it was too difficult just to give credit...)
Triskel time! 
This one is just a random tribalized triskele ...

... and a random dragon-triskele-tribal whatever ...

... and a weird mix between odin horns and triskele (and for some reason I think the horns looks greek, go figure)

Scott's Dragon Tattoo is now a reality!

A few months back my friend Scott asked me to design a bio-mechanical dragon tattoo for his left arm and shoulder. I feature the artwork earlier on in this blog. Now the tattoo's black and white ink is finished, and it looks phenomenal! Scott had it done at Baja Tattoo down in Cabo San Lucas, by Carlos, the owner of Baja Tattoo. It was a marathon 12 hour session, since Scott wanted to get the whole thing done while he was down there, and only had one day to do it before he left to come back to Vancouver.


Carlos did an amazing job staying true to my artwork, which was very detailed and complex, with a great deal of intricate shading. Scott will be getting some colour added, mostly to the background, negative space around the tattoo. Apparently Carlos has something very specific in mind, and I can't wait to see the final tattoo!
