TRADITIONAL PACK Spider Murphy’s & Briganti

Description

SPIDER MURPHY’S TATTOO FLASH VOL.3

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.

BOLD WILL HOLD BY SAMUELE BRIGANTI

Among the few in Europe who has managed to put his own mark on this style, the work of Samuele Briganti clearly speaks the language of Traditional, totally two-dimensional with heavy outlines and a strong colour palette largely composed by yellows, rich reds, dark green and black.

Subdivided into themed chapters on animals, daggers, skulls, sea, etc., Bold Will Hold (the name of his shop in Florence) gives proof of the surprising creative talent Briganti has brought to the best loved classics in a genre which will always be relevant with fresh treasures to discover.
