More amazing wizards (dragon edition)
It looks like he's about to pitch all the magic onto his hand that's holding the orb, whereupon it will smash into one million pieces and doom the dragon to an eternity underground without his friends or family.
This dude is NOT HAPPY about the dragon's fiery flames. Not one bit.
Since when are wizards 100x bigger than dragons? I like the lightning bolts though.
"Alright, I want a dungeon. A deep, dark, scary dungeon, with a DRAGON and a huge SPIDER, and a lizard, and cobwebs, and an EVIL PLOTTING WIZARD with another dragon on his shoulder, and a CUTE BLUEBIRD and a HEART with a banner with my girlfriend's name on it and a bunch of FLAMES on the other side and some smoke all around everything. Okay?"

Serifs for Portfolio Gallery
This is another lettering treatment to be used for the Serif gallery on my web site. The concept sketch is very rough but provides all the information required for a template in Illustrator. The scroll lines connected to the R were drawn as freeform lines with no precise layout to follow.
Angel Tattoos designs
Angel tattoos-Great angel tattoo design
Beckham has his sons' names and a Guardian Angel tattooed on his back
Angel tattoos are great becuase they can be used by both men and women and can vary between sweet cherub angels to more menacing designs of guardian angel tattoo that are often done in black and white. It is also very common for people to get angel tattoos as a memorial of a loved one who has passed. This masculine angel covers most of this female’s back, with huge wings covering both the left and right hand side.Whatever your reasons are for considering an angel tattoo there is a wide vareity of styles and designs to choose from and angel tattoos make a wonderful finished work of art.Wednesday, February 11, 2009
My Friend Zak (when bad tattoos come full circle and become awesome, part II)
In the same vein as this dude, Zak and his friends like to get tipsy and tattoo each other. And ridiculousness ensues.
I'm going to post his tattoos in installments, because they are just that amazing, so here is the first, of many.
Here's the story behind it, if I'm remembering correctly... he decided to get a wolf tattoo, because wolves are RAD (p.s. I have a bunch of amazing tribal wolf tattoos to share with you guys). However, no one could tattoo a wolf, so he just went with the word "WOLF!". Then, apparently, there's a Chinese saying "horse, horse, tiger, bear" which brings good luck, I think? So he went with writing those next to "WOLF!" to round out the tattoo. But the words kept getting progressively crappier as he went on, so you can barely read the last one.
This might be one of the worst tattoos I have ever seen, but it is also one of the best.
If you have a silly stick-n-poke tattoo, or have a friend who does, by all means EMAIL ME!

Palm Tattoos
i am sure that everyone here realizes by now that I am the ringer. Usually the ringer is a hidden expert, such as a well trained soprano, who sneaks into a school chorus and sings like an angel, and I am certainly not that, but instead I am here to hold down the end of this lecture series, and attempt to leave you with the pleasurable experience of looking at pictures, as some sort of antidote to all the spoken words that this class has depended upon. I have ended up here today because of a deep failing on my part, which manifests itself with my inability to keep my mouth shut. At a pleasant lunch one day last year at the President’s office Rick Levin and Tony Kronman, two of the lecturers in this series, were outlining their proposed DeVane lecture series to accompany the University’s Tercentennial celebration. They rolled off all the names of the distinguished Yale faculty members who would speak, and when they finished I couldn’t help pointing out that there wasn’t an artist among them, except for the presence of David Gelertner, and even he, I worried, would speak about the computer and democracy instead of art and democracy. My comment resulted, of course, in Tony and Rick calling me up a day or two later with an invitation to join the series.
" In most places it wouldn’t be surprising to find art left out of an academic discourse. Whenever curriculums are planned, and courses of study are laid out, visual art and its audio sibling music always hover at the fringes, ready to be cut or eliminated if the budget becomes tight. At Yale, however, this should never be the case, because in this institution we all believe that the pursuit and study of art are central to our examination of the world; art doesn’t hover at the fringes here, but instead shines brightly at the center of all our activities. Pictures, of course, have vital importance in the realm of art. This lecture series is about democracy, and the challenge for me is to attempt to describe the role of pictures in relation to this social construct. I have chosen pictures as the central subject because I have spent all my working days with them- making them, fixing them, wrecking them and reproducing them, and now I had been called upon to back up my love of these visual objects by making a compelling case for their importance in our society ". |

Girls Feel Sexy With Tattoos
Find out which members think tattooed girls is hot and what they are saying want to have Tattoo? with pretty picture. Girls are always asking Tattoos man , what tattoos they should get or what I think are the hottest?
Wizards with triangle things on their hats
This one has a sketch next to it, but it can't be the original.
I love how they are all the same, but have their own little personalities...
... like "mild" written over the nipple, for example.
And finally one in color! I can't decide if the color makes this bad tattoo more or less awesome. There's something about the classic black and white wizard that I really love, but I think anything magical really deserves to be in color.
I'm sure there are many more wizards-with-triangle-things-on-their-hats out there, I just have to find them. If you know of anyone with one of these, or know where they might come from, please let me know!
