"This piece is based on a tattoo I did a couple of years ago. I just thought it would make a cool painting. I’m not a “fine artist.” I just try to put images together that I think look cool, and I think other people will respond to and also consider “cool.”

The main image is drawn from two traditional designs. The customer couldn’t decide on one so I suggested combining the two, and he went for it! It was a fun tattoo for me and one of my recent favorites. I was pleased with the idea/design I’d done and wanted to revisit it, and thought it would look cool a bit blown up as a painting, but not a “tattoo flash” painting." - Mario Desa
