Illustration Friday: Tattoo

What a great Illustration Friday topic...I love tattoos! Here is a kitty I did with Japanese style tats. She was sold to an award-winning tattoo artist last year.

"Tattooed Kitty" - 2.5" x 3.5" (ACEO Size)
Prismacolor Colored Pencils & Ink

The Japanese symbol on the moon says "beauty". Thanks for lookin'

Those colors are great together. I especially love the water and the fish. The reddish pink area...it even looks kind of mottled like it's on skin. Is that a drawing or is that an actual tattoo? It's hard for me to tell. Nice work!

Love the Japanese design, flowing lines, and graphic boldness. The fish is a nice witty touch:-)

Your work is quite wonderful, surreal is a great description of your art, though it isn't trite or pointless like a lot of it can be. I have a weekly(ish) post on my sight for artists I discover and enjoy. I'd love to post a few pieces of your work if you'd allow me. Please contact me at
