OMI

This is a parody I did of Shepard Fairey's OBEY/Giant logo. In ink!

It's done in ink because 1) I can't use a computer and 2) "The Great Omi" was one of the first heavily tattooed western men, certainly one of the first to be tattooed on the majority of his body in one pattern. Born Horace Ridler, Omi was a sideshow performer who, essentially, modified his body until he became sensational enough to make a living and, later, get very rich off of his performances/appearances. His schtick was that he was captured in New Guinea and forcibly tattooed all over. Right. But this was the early 1900s.

Anyway, it's a cute pic. Expect more of these smaller pieces until I'm done this huge one.

Then expect more small pieces.
