Friday
Thinking about your body being exposed during the month of January can send shivers down your spine. It’s been a cold one this winter in Toronto, but it always makes me happy to see people lookin’ forward to new skin art and asking me to design something for them to show off once the weather warms up. The Orchids I designed for Suzie were requested to be bold and bright with purples, blues and pinks. I wanted to give the flowers a softer touch, so I used watercolour, pencil crayon and filled in the bolder parts with sharpie markers. Louis wanted a phoenix tribal tattoo, so I worked on this image using fine line ink pen and rhythmic lines to create movement.
Music of Influence at the time: MGMT, TV on the Radio and Mother Mother.
