TRADITIONAL PACK Spider Murphy’s & Rudy Fritsch

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.

LACRIME E SANGUE BY RUDY FRITSCH

The book in the series The Great Books on the Art of Tattooing is dedicated to an important Italian tattoo artist: Rudy Fritsch. The book is a tribute which Rudy would like to make to the world of tattooing, as he offers a creative originality that so many tattooists have drawn upon for their own work.

In his brief introduction to the book, the artist describes it as “a collection of modern tattoo iconography“, dedicated to everyone who, like him, “plays with rules, mixing marks with meaning, creativity with precision, in a constant interplay…. in search of the unseen”.
