Inspired by a tattoo I saw on the show NY Ink. In case you haven’t seen it, it’s a show about a new tattoo shop in New York City. The owner and top tattoo artist is the same owner from the original show Miami Ink. Some of the tattoos they do are absolutely amazing. In a way it makes me want to pick up a tattoo gun and do the same. Except I don’t have any tattoos nor do I want any tattoos all over… oh well. I still like the style either way.
This piece is actually a new art folder to keep my collage stuff in. At first I was only going to have one cat created with newspaper collage (like the one on the left). But when I drew the outline on the folder to help organize where all the pieces would need to go I thought it would be cool if I colored it in with bright colors like a real tattoo. Torn between the two I decided to do both. Although instead of using the Daily Oklahoman newspaper I used one I found from the middle-eastern language.
