I have an obsession and that obsession is geeky tees. I enjoy a good T shirt and have a wardrobe full of them, each one proudly displaying my nerd love for something fantastic. My tees feature both subtle and not so subtle tributes to varying levels of geekery. Firefly, The IT Crowd, Count Duckula, Jaws, Lord of the Rings, Ghostbusters and not to mention my favourite vigilante Batman. That's just naming a few of them!
Today I thought I'd share a few of my favourite designers along with links to their work and Twitter profiles so you can have a good ole nosey through each of their work. I just know that you'll find a tee you love!
If you're a collector of tees like me then check all the links for some amazing inspiration. Also keep an eye on sites like Qwertee, Tee Tee, OtherTees and ShirtPunch for daily bargains on these artists's work and more!
Here I am again and have already broken my promise to write more often lol. Thinking about just merging my 2 blogs together again. Its getting way to difficult to keep track of everything. Although I will have to redo the backgrounds and everything again... much fun! :D
Anyway, I have found some more brilliant tattoos to share, so here we go.
Ok so I haven't been updating as much as I should, but I'm going to make more of an effort to share with the lovely folks who read my blog (Thank you :D) I'm going to be updating with a few of my favourite tattoos that I've seen around the web. I'd love to do one of those 1 post a day every day for a year things, but unfortunately I dont have time every day to do that. If I ever do however, I will definitely be giving it a bash! Its going to be more like at least 3 a week with the odd feature post along the way. Most of the designs will come from DeviantArt to help promote my fellow DA Members, but if anyone see's anything else then please feel free to leave a comment and share more amazing designs! I'll post 3 designs in each post; 1 sketch, 1 black ink piece and 1 coloured piece. This will most likey change over time, but thats my idea to start with anyway.
Sam has a whole load of amazing pieces over on DA, I especially love his dragon designs. The shading is just stunning!
The next piece is not technically inked on skin, its a photomanip (I think) that the designer has done to show how the design would look. Its a design by Shepush, again on DA and he sells his designs via Inkspired.
This design is amazing and one of my favs from DA. It has the perfect balance of black and white space, something I found really difficult to acheive when designing Derek's Kirituhi/Celtic inspired piece. Love it!!
I'm absolutely in love with Maori and polynesian styles at the moment and how they are used within Maori culture. There are strict rules in using Maori designs in that you would never, ever, ever get a real design done as they are sacred to the Maori as part of their cultural heritage. So pretty much any design you see is known as Kirituhi. If you're interested, do some research into the history of Maori Ta Moko, its really interesting!
And now finally the colour piece...
The Geisha Tattoo by Hatefulss is absolutely beautiful! The colour is just incredible. Hatefulss has other great pieces on his DA page all equally as good, his portraits are really amazing. How anyone can catch a likeness like that using a needle is beyond me!
Anyways thats it for my first Fav's of the Day post, I'd love it if you'd check back later on in the week for more.
In honour of Tangled being released last Friday, I thought it fitting to do a wee Disney Tribute. So here is a small collection of Tattoos from around the interweb! Enjoy...
The first 3 are from http://sometimessweet.blogspot.com/ A lovely blog run by Danielle who has a tattoo feature every Tuesday, go check it out.
The owner of these lovely tattoos however is Tiffany who can be found here:
The detail and colour are incredible! Love it!
