earl broclo ESQ Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Here's a doodle I've been doing. Still not sure if I'm done with it or not, as well as the direction it should lay. A lot of the detail is lost in the photo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picky P. Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 yeah, that's fresh. to the orientation thought, i think it offers a nice variance of possibilities...i'd like to see it the other ways around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decyferon Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 think I prefer it on the horizontal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picky P. Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 i like the looming nature of the top version..that flat line at the bottom sells me on it in that orientation. just my preference, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojangles Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 How do you afford all these frames?! Secret hookup? No secret really. I'm a picture framer by trade. (And I work for a major retail framing company.) Something comes in with a minor defect or 1/4" off and it's all mine! We do so much business with the distributors, they tell me to keep it and send me a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Earl... have you ever considered working in layers? I used to draw out pieces and then use a sheet of velum over it to rework the piece. And then again to rework the reworked. Oddly, I never noticed how interesting the layers were till way after the fact. Looking at your ink drawing... I could see layers working really well with that style. Maybe even each layer being a different color and a slightly different line weight. I don't know... just thinking "out loud". Bo... you know I like that piece, already. The composition is perfect. Seriously, well done, sir. It's looking like a show in Vancouver BC with Kofie, Remi Rough and Sueme is a go for March.

earl broclo ESQ Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I was thinking of doing that Joker. I took a couple classes last year and one of them was a marker rendering class. It focused more on advertising renderings, but it left me with this 17X14 pad of marker and tracing paper. The class taught us how to trace and then re-trace, and so on. So I was thinking of retracing that and cleaning it up. But with you talking about using velum and layers with color, that opens up a whole new way to go. I'm going to try that out. I'll post the finished work in 6 months. haha Congrats on the show in Vancouver. That's a real nice line up, post photos if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 if you don't tattoo, don't design tattoos. imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFuse Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 my thoughts. If i was a tattooer I would design them and do them. But I dont think I could just draw something for some to put on their body if it wasnt my job to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I dont think I could just draw something for some to put on their body if it wasnt my job to do so. If a friend or a client likes my designs, says "hey I want you to draw me a tattoo" I'm not going to turn down an opportunity to get my shit stuck to someones body for the rest of their life.

CLEMENZA Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 damn thats's a good one bo, I don't see anything wrong with just drawing someone a tattoo, their trust lies in the tattoo artist after the drawing is chosen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigmatic Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 ^^^^^^ Tattoos are entirely different than anything else in the art realm. If you arnet a tattooist/havent been trained by tattooist you should probably not design tattoos. Obviously you can doodle up your ideas and say "hey i want something like this", but in the end the tattooist will re-interpret them and needs to get the final say. yeahh. Edit: i dont tattoo at all I have just heard this over and over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFuse Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 The Elephant In The Room 24x36 looks good bojangles. Although when I look at it all I think about is religious crosses. Were you going for something in that fashion or am I just seeing them all out of context? :edit: Its probably because of the methodist cross having that swoosh thing next to it.

CLEMENZA Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 To give someone a doodle to get tattooed and to draw a tattoo while understanding how it will be layered and tattooed are completely different. I really don't think it's necessary to be a tattoo artist or be trained in order to sketch someone a tattoo. Understand it will look a little different and in the end it comes down to the tattoo artists ability to replicate the drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFuse Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I really just meant my statement from an artists pov. I have a hard time evening finishing something most of the times let alone not craving to go back and change it once its "finished." SO being overly critical of my own work Id hate to make something I did permanent on someone elses body. I love the style of art tattooing is yet I dont and will never have one.

Bojangles Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Shortfuse, I've noticed a lot of crosses as well as angelic wings appear in my work lately, which is odd because I'm a total agnostic. Once in awhile, a few demonic horns or fangs appear as well! Maybe I'm possessed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
