New Work: Fleur de Lis by Natan

Natan just completed this piece on our sailor friend, Gary, yesterday. Although he's often away at sea for long stretches of time, Gary always makes sure to find some time to swing on by the shop to continue Natan's work on his detailed fisherman sleeve. In addition to his ongoing sleeve, Gary requested that Natan tattoo a big gold fleur de lis on his shoulder for yesterday's session. For this piece, Natan decided to really push his color theory by sinking rich blues, greens, and purples into the shadows to really make the striking chroma and texture of the

gold pop out. Check out the results below and make sure to give us a call to book out your time with Natan for your custom piece today!

Dainichi Nyorai Painting by Natan

Around here, the winter months are always a key time for all of us to polish up on our painting game. Along with the rest of the crew, Natan has been fine tuning a lot of the paintings from his body of work and framing them up for gallery shows and the shop. Check out this large acrylic painting of Dainichi Nyorai Buddha which is characterized by Natan's painterly emphasis on vivid, bright colors seated within a solid foundation of linework and drawing.

New Work by Natan: Witch-King Watercolor!

Just this past weekend, Natan found some time between tattooing to finish up this piece that had been in progress for awhile (you may remember a rough copy of the design from the 2008 Boston Tattoo Convention t-shirts). This watercolor features some of Natan's signature stylistic moves such as an emphasis on bright vivid color work, a focus on line density, and an organic, intertwining flow and movement. Natan has a bunch of large painting projects he's been working away on so make sure to keep watching the site as we update with more of his work!

They see the world more intensely than the rest of us. And the visions they share expand our knowledge and enjoyment of everything around us. On this e
