Tattoo Inspirations (black and gold themed)

Me encanta black and gold:

Abstraction that I actually love.... from a site I stumbled upon today. Reminds me of Hundertwasser a bit.

As always (do you ever have an artist who when you see their work you feel like you could just die, becasue they've already achieved the quality of work you want to do...using the same inspirations as you?! It's a terrible feeling. It's what i get with a few illustrators, but mostly:)
Aya Kato:


























































Aya Kato just illustrated Poe's "Tales of Mystery and Imagination", which makes perfect sense, since Kato is today's Harry Clarke (and I'm not *weep*)




and amazing Brazilian graffitti artist/illustrator Herbert Baglione, whose work I stumbled upon when I lived next to Upper Playground in San Francisco. His show there was sold out. It should have been, dammit, it was AMAZING.:

Your comment about Kato reminds me of the reflection:

If you must envy, envy the good. If your wishes are granted, you will be cured.
