Since I'm listening to mostly old old Blues, Country, Hillbilly, Rockabilly, etc at the moment...and that has many a lyric about roamin', ramblin', leavin' town on that midnight train, etc had me thinking about applying these ideas to tattoos. So think Jack Kerouac, Woody Guthrie and the Hobo lifestyle, or sailor's with their souveniers, gal in every port, or the travel trunk, backpack with stickers/patches of different destinations. So can be destinations, mode of transport or the mentality of the travelling life. I think I've given you enough ideas there, I think you get the gist and hope you dig it!

Around the World in a week n a bit :lol: ;)

1:- Original Art ONLY
2:- Each member may submit only ONE entry per week
2:- Pencil, Pen, Ink, Crayon, Paints, watercolor etc...
3:- NO Digital or Photoshop (unless your cropping or making it a smaller size)
4:- Contest ends Sunday, June 21st (I know that more than a week but not everyone is going to check this before the weekend)
5:- Art must be "Tattooable."
6:- Nothing you drew a month ago is allowed, must be Original/New stuff for every contestant
7:- If you feel the need to Prove your work, please provide evidence of this. (entirely up to you)
8:- NO High Jacking of the weekly thread what so ever!!

Most important rule is HAVE FUN and good luck!

ok here's my entry. hope it's ok as was stated could be mode of transport?

It's my first attempt at traditional, as it's one style i've never really liked and thought i'd give it a go.
not overly happy with it as i think the colours are too muddy (muddier than i'd have liked) and i think i simplified it too much?

If i get a chance to redo it (maybe keep the plane black and grey in contrast to background?) then i'll re-enter the newer piece.

Wow, that's quick off the mark...and I'd started to wonder if nobody liked the idea, as there hadn't been much response :D

Still open, deadline is USA midnight, so few hrs, dunno how many without checking, lol (it's 10.15ish here in the UK).

...could even maybe go an extension on this, what do people recon, I haven't found the time to do anything myself yet and we definately need some more entries. I thought this had the potential to be an interesting one but maybe people just weren't that into it ;) . If we don't get more by closing and people had WIP, or ideas, then I think we should def' push it back :D .

...lovin' that piece by the way Mr.L & J

Well this is rushed n a little scrappy looking and I kinda got off topic, or least digressed from my original post's vibe. I had a whole bunch of other ideas (which I will develop into a sheet) but this is the only one that got drawn up.

First idea was to make him drive by a hot chick at a bus stop in an old caddilac and text would say something like "Always ridin with a boner" or something like that,
but time wasnt on my side, coz i wanted to finish something tonight when i had the time, dont feel its complete, colors would make it look a little better and the texture sucks, but here goes..
