LIMITED EDITION
110 previously unpublished plates specially created for this great new publication from Tattoo Life in collaboration with the tattoo shop in San Rafael, California, Spider Murphy’s: Theo Mindell, Haley McCann, John A. Geltz, Justin E. Davis, Paul Anthony Dobleman, Pavel Brodsky, Weston Imhoff, Joy Armstrong, L. Rose
A new “core” of pieces all bearing the singular hallmark which certifies the style of the artists who work with what in terms of the Traditional style is one of the most famous creative hubs the world over.
The subjects are the beloved classics of this distinctly retro style: circus women, tigers, playing cards, gentlemen in bowler hats, spiders, felines and compositions which bring to mind the images on the advertisements for old tattoo shops.
The illustrated plates in Spider Murphy’s Tattoo Flash Vol. 3 reveal a world where the clock stopped a few centuries back, a visual container packed with ideas, inspiration, animation and graphics to dip into as if they were a font to choose to compose timeless new words.
