the Kirby Sleeve #2

Step two. We ran out of time before finishing out the blacks. Not as large as Iron Man, but more line work and more blacks.

the Kirby Sleeve #1

So, my long gestating plan to do a sleeve tattoo of Jack Kirby artwork finally started last night. Jason at Timeless Tattoo in Atlanta is the artist and, apart from being an amazing tattoo artist it's obvious he knew what I wanted and understood Kirby. As painful as it was (and it was. It's my first tattoo and it turns out they hurt me like hell. And I've had kidney stones.) I can't wait until the whole sleeve is complete.

And yes, I know he's not really known for his Iron Man, but it's my tattoo, dammit.

Coming soon: color, Big Barda and Arishem the Judge.
