Artist's Comments

This was the result of spending a month hanging out at a local tattoo studio - I'm quite unhappy with how illustrative my art has become since then and am having second thoughts about a career in tattooing as I will be catering to the requests of others (and I don't want to spend two years as an apprentice tattooing stars and playboy bunnies on teenage girls) and I'm worried that art will lose its meaning to me, like it has in the past month.
I'm definitely not pleased at all with the influence the tattoo studio has had on my work - this piece is not my favourite.

Reminds me of Rosaleen Norton... but way too structured and stiff, even with the suggestion of symmetry that dissolves when you look closer... But I like it - you're right, a coloured tat would make it live

Iz very pretty! :) Colour may give it some more depth, you know the way that happens. I love the mouths especially: very sensual.

THIS is amazing. Why not tatt what ppl want and in the meantime keep drawing and even post what you draw where other's can see it while getting tattoo'd with something simple. Honestly this is amazing. Even without color..Just adding darker and lighter contrasts would make it POP or color behind it or even just a bit of color to the flowers? I love to paint but my drawing skills look like a five yr olds next to this. If i had the money i'd love this as a tattoo as i have 2 sisters. You've been blessed with a talent I envy. :)

Thank you!! I think that's the best comment I've ever had for my artwork. There really is no depth in it though, I agree that maybe a bit of colour might add a bit of contrast. This piece was always meant to be an idea sketch anyway, but I still haven't got round to re working it. But anyway thanks for the comment, much appreciated!

You know what i did? I put it in paint shop and did a 'clarify' which made the dark darker and it really popped. I don't think you realize how talented you really are. :)
