Here is one of my generation two reverse image color bomb designs.
It is a “generation two” design because over the years these types of drawings and tattoos that I play with have evolved and I have categorized them as generation one , two, and three.
You can get prints, cards, stickers , shirts, etc… via my Redbubble portfolio of this design.
You can also get groovy stuff featuring a slight digital remix of this one via society6.
If you have no clue what the F I am talking about with these Reverse Image Color Bombs… that isn’t a surprise unless you have followed my career for many years.
Basically I kinda started a tattoo style back in the 80’s that went frigg’n crazy. I called it/them Reverse Image Color Bombs. They got so F’n popular I ended up booked out over a year in advance at one point and was doing maybe a full third of my tattoos in that style. I ended up burning out on them and refused to do them at all for a few years.
Truly I was sad because I still loved the concept.
Eventually I started back up with them , but more on the down-low and I wouldn’t publish or show them. They had changed however from primarily abstract shapes with negative space images to a combination of positive and negative. I made them more obvious, but also tried to make a viewers mind get involved more at the same time.
After a few years of that they evolved again into what I call generation three.
I very rarely show a generation three tattoo. On this site for example I have done so only once.
You can check it out HERE to get an idea of generation three designs.
The drawing above is in the style I consider generation two, and if you want to see some generation one stuff there is a really old gallery (with not so great pics) located HERE.
