Branded Brazilians...

At least two people in Brazil are now sporting tattoos based on my artwork...

So one way or another I'm making a mark on the world...

Tattoos based on my pictures.

I was sent a photo today (by 'Jabbajay on Deviantart) who had my Cernunnos design tattooed on the back of her neck. This was done by Warren at Avinit Tattoo in Orpington, UK.



My original:

This is the second time someone just went and got an image of mine tattooed, and then let me know, and obviously I have no problem with it. It's flattering, actually. The other one was a Knight Templar based on a drawing of mine.

I've also had a couple of people commission tattoo designs from me, including an epic Crusader battle back piece, but I don't know if they went through with it. This is a mock up:

Feel free to get in touch if you would like me to produce a personal tattoo design, and also if you have already had one of my pictures done as a tattoo. It's always interesting to see the photos.

Gladiatorial Sketches

From a gleaming gladius to a Gallic gladiator... Or a man in a nappy killing cybermen (as a dear friend has just summed up one of the pictures for me!)

These were done with the character of the week challenge on Conceptart.org in mind- in this case a veteran Gladiator of Celtic origin. Of course I'm not yet rivalling Jean-Leon Gerome when it comes to Roman Arena paintings, but it'd definitely a standard to aspire to!
