theres some very (VERY VERY) nice stuff here, some of the links go to work that is either inspirational or downright depressing in their perfection of form and character.

kurt has quiet an academic (if you can call an art degree that) record in design.., i noticed on his site.

i even noticed id visited here before?? best get to work and see what i can conjour.

as for the tatoo.., id be seriously checking the proportion and be making the linework more fluid before id place it on someones back for a lifetime!

one thing i have noticed a lot is people using value to great shadow rather than saturation, or movement through colour.., seems an inherent gotcha to watch for in photoshop.
