Art You Have Created

I have an obsession with octopi!!! I have a drawing of one I did that I want as a tattoo. I want the head on the top of my arm/shoulder (not back shoulder) and then the tentacles spinning down my arm. I'll upload a pic in a bit.

Honestly that sounds really really cool. idk if you like Japanese style art, like the woodblock art (those awesome waves and coy fish). but if you kind of took that style of graphics and applied a modern touch or your own touches you might really have something special. the right artist is everything thats why when i get my edmc.nu tattoo im going to try to go to a big city somewhere to find a very talented artist

These are the two tattoos I want:

#1

This is my octopus. It wont be this exactly but I drew it and liked it so I kept it for the future artist to use a reference.

Also if you'll notice it's not a true octopus. It only has 5 limbs. I have 5 family members and quite honestly didn't want to find where to fit the other 3 lol. I call it my Pentapus ;) lol

#2

Call me cliché or w/e but I want this on my left forearm as a symbol of my faith.

The cursive says "Nailed. Dead. Risen." which is the gospel summed up in 3 words. I'm still debating whether or not to have the words written in or if I should just do the cross.

dude... i really like that second one and if you dont get that one i will. this last year i have become very very close with god (say whatever, but if me of all people has it has to mean something) and i dont think its cliche at all i think its awesome.

edit: got distracted by the second picture. if you drew both of those then you dont have to be modest your a pretty decent artist. theyre both very cool, i really like octopi, i really like humboldt squid too (im from humboldt county). i think it would be cool to get a tattoo you design yourself. you should see the shit people around where i live have permanently put on there bodies. shit so stupid i cant even get started....

lol. I feel you dude. I really want those two though. and if you really want that second one you're more than welcome to have it!!! I'd be honored :)

Props that stuff is not easy to do(perfect). I used to know a guy that apparently was really good at it i guess when he entered his project to a college to see if they would accept him they freaked out because he was almost at the level of people close to graduating. He was also the blackest dude ever (bonus fact)

haha thanks, I updated the website btw

^Some pretty nice stuff in there zork. There are a few in there that seem very heavily influenced by Banksy. I love his work so much.

And KH∆OS, check out this painting a good friend of mine made a few months ago:

While not direct physically drawn, Dubmonster has invited me to share some pics I took here. Most of them are animals, or some trains. If im not working or on here I am likely outside photographing things, its consumed my life haha :D

I learn something new everyday so there are some here that are from before I was really into it. Anyways hope you enjoy.

Very cool thread guys! Enjoying a lot of the stuff in here for sure.

I've never really had time to write in public, but I've been doodling (blackbook-ing, if ya wanna call it that) for years it seems like... Just not often enough to really progress and improve unfortunately.

But here's a little piece for a mixtape I made called "STEREOROIDS"

I'm working on another one for a new mixtape right now, if anyone's interested in seeing that

^hell yeah, lookin good. Pretty simple hand style but its solid. I <3 streetart, use to go out bombing and writing every night. As i grew up a bit though, the risk became too high and now i keep it to the studio. Stencils and wheatpasting were my specialties. Def post up the new one your working on.

Heres a studio stencil piece I did a while back, its 2 feet x 4 feet and took way too fucking long:

my handstyles were always pretty shite lol (see below) so mainly stuck to what i was good at
