Well, January had me finishing up a Marsh Tit tattoo commission for Kenneth, among other bits and bobs. I received an e-mail with a request to draw the little bird much in the style of my fawn drawing. Above is the final result, and below is the image he requested a model it after. No word on the inks yet, but I’ll be sure to update this post if Kenneth provides me with any images of the completed tat. Stay tuned!

and the original drawing, an archaic looking sea dragon:

You can see it better on the site (or buy it) by CLICKING HERE and checking out the Bandtee section. It’s the red one, with the bird cages. Hmmm, I never did get a finished one. I wonder if they’ll make me buy it…

A small gift for Coll, happy 27th!!! Check out more images of this little guy on Behance!

Drawing on these old pages is way more difficult than I anticipated. The ink either bleeds really badly, the pen tip pulls up the paper fiber (effectively clogging your pen tip till it no longer works and making your paper way fuzzy), or just rips through the paper all together. I have yet to find the perfect medium, I guess that’s what you get for defacing a book from the 40s. At least it was cheap.

I have a new sketchbook. Now lets see if I can fill it.
