Walter Potter**************

Here is an image of victorian taxidermist Walter Potter’s “Original Death & Burial Of Cock Robin.”  Having found myself on a trail of aviaries and victorian cases has been alot like discovering the history of tattooing, one step at a time, only getting more exciting as you sink further into past. For me, the aesthetics of what I look for in my work and hobbies are very similar.

“All human creation progresses towards simplification…and ’simplification’ is refinement.”

- Edmond Dantes, Count of Monte Cristo

( I have been wanting to use that for a while.)

 

Although the author of this website may not agree with me, there is a brief history of Potter’s work and an excellent visual resource HERE.

Horace Ridler

The Great Omi on Craig. While doing this tattoo I wondered if George Burchett was pissed off he had to do a bodysuit of tribal.

Goodbye.

A ship on Jude.

Jan Svankmejar shorts entitled: “Food”. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The were, believe it or not, made in 1992. He is one of my favorite animators.

Trust No Man…

This is an original drawing I obtained a few years ago. This was mailed from Folsom State Prison sometime in the mid 1980’s. It is completely rendered with a ballpoint Papermate pen. The black is incredibly solid and you can see in the light the indentations of a very systematic process.  A lot of time was spent on this. You can just feel it holding the paper. I also own the letter from the inmate to his wife which I have transcribed below. Enjoy.

This sounds ridiculous but I tattoo’d this black cat one of my closest friends Jeff and he got hit by a taxi leaving the tattoo shop. I guess it knocked him pretty hard on his ass and then almost hit him again trying to flee the scene. NYC rats.

Tattoo’d this Christ on Bryan not long after putting the newest flash sheet up in the shop. A few small changes.

Possible rookie grim reaper unsure about an early kill on Matt Van Cura who does nice tattoos at Lark on Long Island.
