Drawings For Tattoos Volume 3

Hardy Marks Publications is proud to announce the third volume in its Drawings for<br /><br />Tattoos series, featuring more of the work of San Francisco’s Don Ed Hardy. The<br /><br />focus of this volume is drawings done between 1955 and 1957, when Hardy (at age<br /><br />10-12) was applying “tattoos” with eyeliner and colored pencils on neighborhood<br /><br />kids. He and his partner in the “toy tattoo shop” were featured in a photo article in<br /><br />his local paper, which is included in this book along with pictures his work.<br /><br />Hardy produced hundreds of flash design sheets during this period, before going<br /><br />onto art in other mediums for ten years. He returned to actual tattooing in 1967<br /><br />after graduating art school, and went on to develop the cultural and artistic<br /><br />potential of the medium, leading the world to its current popularity. This volume of<br /><br />his Kiddy Flash shows the precocious roots of his life-long passion.
