This was a tattoo design my friend and acupuncturist Charlie at Uckfield Wellbeing wanted. There were some specifics for this brief and it was quite a challenge to get the bear and wolf both looking out and neither taking dominance with the yin yang still clearly recognisable.

this one started out as a watercolour piece. I finished in procreate because the composition was a bit out. Reference from the wonderful draw Brighton as ever. Model is the talented Nomi

This one I had in mind a particular thing, but it took a different path.
I was trying to emulate Christian Ward but I simply didn’t achieve that but I did get a nice portrait in the end I think. I was trying also to be loose with the paint.
I do like the state of mind I get into when painting…
The triangles came out well I thought.
Well proud of this one though, the largest and best non digital portrait I have done so far.
Model is Naomi Rufina from the excellent Draw Brighton archive.

I went through a period of obsessively listening to this song. You know when a song just lands with you and just stays with you and you need to listen to it everyday? No? Just me?
Anyway, at the time I thought it would be cool if this was released as a single and what would the cover look like? (I don’t know at the time that the song actually had been released as the final single off of superunknown)
The concept of this cover popped into my head quite quickly, referencing some of the lyrics in the song.
I am pretty happy with it I have to say. Maybe it will be used on a re-release???
Drawn in procreate and the finished in affinity designer on the iPad.

finally got round to finishing this snake off for year of the snake. Made it flipping massive so my iPad (well procreate) got a bit crashy working on the final stages. I’ll add the process vid here on my site later.

Process of Neo traditional style tattoo design. Happy with the bottom koi and the overall flow but look how I add too much colour and obliterate the whole thing… this I will have to have another bash at this one.

I have always wanted to be a tattooist. I even wrote my A Level project on tattoos, I have been drawing daggers and snakes on my hands in biro since I can’t remember when. So I signed up to Mike Stockings’s Patreon and got cracking!

Here is a design I made in procreate. I was thinking of having it as a back of hand tattoo. It’s a dragon, can you tell? My son thought it was a tiger or something…
