Fine-artist illustrator local to loughborough looking to transition into the tattoo industry via a studio apprenticeship. My work has been focusing around the development of a unique style and visual language that can become recognisable in a freelance industry.
Tattoo Visual Language Explorations
Yoruba Sphere II
The second of four ‘Yoruba sphere’ outputs outlining an exploration of cross-cultural body modification and multi-cultural visual language. Based on the scarification markings popularised within Africa and documented within ‘Marks of Civilisation’ by Arnold Rubin
Arabic Geometric Tiling Mosaic
Further exploration of cross-cultural visual language through handmade Arabic geometrics.
Hand-drawn Arabesque
Made from compass, pencil, and finished in penwork stippling prior to further digital manipulation, this design draws inspiration from traditional geometric forms as the basis for an arm-based tattoo design.
Arabic Glitch
intending to create chaos from order, this work was an experimental photo manipulation of a six-fold Arabic geometric tiling.
