Bøker av Jeromey "Tilt" McCulloch

Traditional American tattooing has a rich, extensive heritage. Often underappreciated, it represents a true folk art, encompassing design motifs and themes that are expressions of the heart, the desires, loves, and ambitions of the artists and those who wear their artworks.After carefully studying work by renowned American tattoo artists (including Paul Rogers, Leonard "Stoney" St.Clair, George Burchett, August "Cap" Coleman, Percy Waters, Owen James and others) the author distilled it into five component colors: black, red, yellow, green, and brown, and developed a new interpretation of their classic styles. Besides classic designs by the author, the images here include collaborative work with other tattoo designers. Over 640 individual flash designs are reproduced in color as a celebration of the tradition and the hope that it will continue as folk art.

In more than 100 pieces of contemporary flash, Tilt and his collaborators celebrate the lineage of tattoo artists who have paved the way while looking forward to the future of tattooing. Using the five classic bold colors (black, red, yellow, green and brown), the flash in this second volume continues to explore the importance of the origin and essential foundations of tattooing while making its own mark on the visual history of this folk art. Offering a broad range of themes, this is an ideal flash book for anyone in the tattoo industry.
