Haida art!!!

i have a tattoo of a 2 headed eagle on my shin based on this art

Sgraffio on Dec 15 '06 at 11:45pm

Awesome!!! One of my mates has a similar tat! He's also got a sun on his centre back!

Cheers, drmtama2!

What do you think of the shirt design?

drmtama2 on Dec 15 '06 at 11:46pm

its freakin' awesome

$5

Sgraffio on Dec 15 '06 at 11:49pm

Cheers, do you have a photo link to your tat? I'd love to see it.

drmtama2 on Dec 15 '06 at 11:49pm

you should make the hair extend gradually.. since the head has center placement the hair extending downward on both sides of the shirt... to create a wrap design ... kind of like an arrow..

drmtama2 on Dec 15 '06 at 11:49pm

hmmm... ill take a pic.. and try to post it here.. hold on

I was going to do that with the hair, but I had an submission rejected for doing that in a previous design (citing the 16x16 limitations). I think if the design is printed a little larger it could have the same effect. Cheers for the thoughts, though.

Sgraffio on Dec 15 '06 at 11:55pm

Hey, Chelly. Thanks for commenting on my design as with all the others. Nice of you to always say something.

Sgraffio on Dec 16 '06 at 12:16am

drmtama, looks brilliant, mate!!! Are you going to add some colour to it at some point or leave it as is?

Cheers for the comments regarding my design, peebles. ;)

drmtama2 on Dec 16 '06 at 12:20am

not sure about color.. the original had redish accents in it.. and my friend you did the tattoo told me with my skin pigment... it wouldn't be a good idea... i like it the way it is now... perhaps i will add something around it.. not sure...

drmtama2 on Dec 16 '06 at 12:21am

Cool tatoo! Is it an Aboriginal design?

Sgraffio on Dec 16 '06 at 12:26am

Excellent, mate. I like it as is, my mate's is only 2 colours and he's white as a ghost, so it's suits him.

If you ever need any inspiration, I have a great book on drawing Haida that I can scan some pages in for you. It's quite detailed and goes into some depth on imagery and their sipirtual meanings.

drmtama2 on Dec 16 '06 at 12:27am

thxz peacock

what's the title of the book Sg?

Sgraffio on Dec 16 '06 at 12:29am

Aboriginals are from Oz, peacock. :D It's art inspired from the Northwest Natives. Tlingit, Tsimshian, Haida, Kwagiutl, Nootka, Salish are the tribes that practise this form of art.

drmtama2 on Dec 16 '06 at 12:30am

peacock .. it was inspired by Haida art... art made by Inuits also known as Eskimos

Sgraffio on Dec 16 '06 at 12:31am

I can't remember off the top of my head, Drm. Sorry mate, I'll have a look for it and post it up here when I can.

drmtama2 on Dec 16 '06 at 12:31am

no problem...

Sgraffio on Dec 16 '06 at 12:41am

Just found it, it's called, Looking at Indian Art of the Northwest Coast. It was printed in 1980, ahahaha.. my friend said he found it in a used book store when he gave it to me. Didn't realize it was so old.

Sgraffio on Dec 16 '06 at 1:48am

Dropped! I suck! :D
