The little round stamp was there previously from someone else and she wanted to add something bigger to it and more interesting that had to do with Nova Scotia as well. I had *so* much fun doing this guy, and he's given me ideas. Neat ideas. Eeevil ideas.

Startup by Messorius

Tattoo Torpedo by Messorius

Thu, 07 Jun 2007 22:20:52 -0000

This image was drawn about 3 years ago for a new t-shirt design for where I was working, and was turned down because my boss thought clients couldn't "get" busy designs. This attitude has come back on him, ha! People are eyeballs with feet. Never underestimate what they are capable of seeing, even if they don't always notice it.

Medium: Ink, markers, pencil crayons.
