Bootz.
AKA - Lil' Dave.
We worked together at KVCR at one
point, so I was David - or Dave - and he was
Lil' Dave. Simple
as that.
You've seen him on these pages before.
A long time ago, before he went out to hang with
some friends, he became my first shot (on skin) at
a Lewis Carroll character...
...or two.
Problem was - the
fresh ink on ONE shoulder
made the REAL tattoo on the OTHER
shoulder look kinda washed out.
So, add a quick, quick
border...
And there ya go.
Fly, little bird. Be free.
But back to this night. Dave's REALLY into Spiderman.
He also has an old tattoo that he REALLY wants to cover.
So here's where I come into the picture.
While these explorations into The Human Canvas
have been, and will continue to be, a personal art project,
they also occasionally been a
service of sorts...
Allowing a person to "test the waters", as it were,
when thinking about getting
a tattoo.
In this case...Venom.
In a nutshell, Venom was an alien life form
which became a part of Peter Parker...and Spiderman.
At first, it seemed to be simply a cool new set of
powers acquired in The Secret Wars.
Later Venom was shown to have
certain "Blob-like"
qualities...
Allowing it to sort of drip, splat, and reform as a being.
So tonight we were testing the waters on this idea...
...exploring as we went...
...and coming up with something kinda cool...
...which WILL receive some alterations/adaptations
when we hit this again.
Meantime -
Drip...Splatter...
...Done with this piece...
...and onto the next.
Coming soon...
Another Session with Lil' Dave...
Struggling with the blues.
Please come back for another visit.
It was the highlight of
the night!
