Afternoon sketch.

Here's a quick drawing I did this afternoon while I sat outside in my new garden. After the jump are some inspirational pictures.

Artist of the week - Rik Lee

Rik Lee is an, annoyingly, talented illustrator who hails from Melbourne, Australia.

I follow Rik on Tumblr and Instagram and his work never fails to impress. With a tattoo, slash realism, style that is easy on the eyes, his work is inspiring and encourages me to get creative.

Here's a few pieces to get your juices flowing...

Artist of the week - Lea Nahon

Lea Nahon is a wonderful tattoo artist working out of Boucherie Moderne in Brussels, Art Corpus in Paris and Brighton’s Nine studio. Just over a year ago I made the long journey from Cardiff to Brighton to get my very own Lea Nahon original. It was a tiring day but worth every minute of it, and Lea was genuinely lovely and enthusiastic about her work. She has a unique sketchy look with a French feel that I find extremely inspiring, and I still have the original drawing to this day. One day I will frame that drawing and hang it in my art space.

Artist of the week - Jeff Gogue

Jeff Gogue is a great inspiration to me, and is one of a long line of tattooists that I would love to get work from. But Gogue is not just a tattooist, first and foremost he is an artist like most tattooists, and his transfer of art on canvas to art on skin is seamless.

So here are a few examples of his work...enjoy!
