Pen and Ink - Tattoo Redo

I always intended to clean these guys up before I finally committed and got them but I've been putting it off until I took Pen and Ink. I've still got a couple of weeks left but our assignments are all open now so I figured I may as well go for it. I'm pretty satisfied with the results. I've just e-mailed the fantastically talented Stephanie Tamez who has done a lot of amazing engraving inspired tattoos, and if everything goes according to plan I should be getting these done sometime in the near future. I've got my fingers crossed....

We had to do an artist copy for class and I thought Fritz Eichenberg was a pretty cool dude who did some pretty cool things, like this illustration from Crime and Punishment (who doesn't like some Dostoyevsky?) It took me a little while to realize that copying a wood-cut for a pen and ink assignment was probably one of the less intelligent choices I could have made but that's how it goes I suppose...
