Great work! I have always loved your art work ever since I first saw some of your tattoo work in a thread around here. I wish there were some people around here as talented as that to do my tattoo work.

Keep up the good work!

Might be cool for a tattoo in my opinion as well

I thought this was a tattoo project from its very beginning...(?)

Did not know this. SO COOL!

Another new one. This is a full sleeve for a client coming from England next week. We are doing 2 full sleeves in 10 days. This is going to be a fun project.
Here is the first one of two.

[Orion]

Sweet I love these. It's like some kind of charicaturised layout of a machine or a blueprint of some kind.

 

[olympus mon]

Some sleeves Im working on this week.

 

[SalviaDroid]

I'd like to interject with a play on the asymmetry comment. : )

SUPER ASYMMETRY!!

Excellent work my friend! Inspiring!

 

[Guyomech]

A truly epic project, and amazing transformation for your client, to go home with two finished sleeves like that!

 

[olympus mon]

Thank you all. Indeed Guyomech, this is an incredible transformation for both of us.

 

[spinCycle]

Wow. Those transfer nicely to the large format. I'm not one for body art on my flesh, but i'd totally dig having one of those pieces on the wall.

 

[olympus mon]

Thanks all. Here are some finished pics. Ill be getting high quality ones after he heals. THis man is a machine!!!! Total time 40 hours over 8 days. 2 full sleeves and right chest panel.
My body is pretty wrecked so off to a massage for me.
Thank you J, you were a terrific client and house guest.

 

[hostilis]

That is awesome!! You are very talented. Keep it up!

Is that an owl face there on the right hand side of the chest? (his right, your left)

olympus mon,

This might sound strange, but whenever I look in the mirror during an Aya ceremony I see this type of artwork as a red/maroon painting all over my face and head (I'm bald). I see the same thing every time, without fail. I see similar on my left arm, but with some hieroglyphs as well. It's kind of hard to ignore, and feels a little spooky. If time permitted, the next step would be to paint it on myself during a ceremony and photograph it.

Does this speak to you in any way?

Brilliant work, by the way.

There are indigenous cultures that paint their bodies with a similar style with red clay. Perhaps there is a connection.
Maybe you can focus on them and try to sketch them after the ceremony. Id be interested in seeing them if you did.

Something I've always wanted to try:

1) invite a friend over and sit them down somewhere comfortable
2) take a good picture of their face and print it on heavy matte paper
3) gather necessary art supplies, particularly white colored pencils, and sharpen them
4) smoalk
5) sit and look directly at that friend, then look at their photo (shot minutes before in the same lighting) and see if the superimposed patterns are the same
6) if so, use colored pencils to trace them

That's the idea... But I agree, this Marquesian tattoo patterning definitely has a spicy vibe to it. Oly, I'm guessing that's part of the attraction.

 

[Hiyo Quicksilver]

Oly... Dude, this is some really incredible stuff! Fantastic work, good sir... I'm just sitting here in awe.

And all that solid black! :shock: You must have a helluva light hand, or he must be a real man's man! (or both!)
