Angel tattoo designs are gaining popularity

Gambar
Angel tattoos are probably the most common designs for women worldwide. Angel tattoos can be versatile and may be used to create unique designs in a lot of different ways. Angels are thought to be one of the most beautiful heavenly creatures and represent different ideas to different individuals. Professional tattoo studios typically have a number of angel tattoos to pick from and each might possibly be altered into whatever design you'd like. Angels have represented beauty, purity, and spirituality in several different cultures throughout history. The character of a angel has often been employed to symbolize someone's transformation to a higher plane of existence, either physically, mentally, or spiritually. Most angel tattoos have a great amount of detail so the attractive nature associated with the design and style and the intricate aspects of a design can match the loveliness associated with the angels which have been depicted in literature and art.

Christopher Bakken's Special Octopus on The Tattooed Poets Project

Gambar
Today's tattooed poet is Christopher Bakken , who shared this photo with us: Christopher's tattoo has a great origin story: "The original line drawing for my tattoo was done by famed cookbook author, chef, and artist Mollie Katzen (best known for The Moosewood Cookbook ) who kindly agreed to fashion some illustrations for my 2013 culinary memoir Honey, Olives, Octopus . It was the first drawing she sent me in the initial stages of production and I liked it so much I decided it should be with me permanently.  It was inked by Mike of Mad Mike's Tattoos  ( @mad_mikes_tattoo_n_piercing ) in Meadville, Pennsylvania.  The tattoo is a daily reminder of my relationship to Greece (the real and imagined landscape of so much of my poetry) and specifically the Aegean Sea. I spend my summers on the island of Thasos , which means for most of the year the tattoo reminds me of my painful distance from that place. As a cook, I believe in being in close contact with the source...

Thank you all so much for your uplifting words, though my logoseremoty ( log-o-serr-EM-o-tee , "word-emptiness", "word-desertedness" - just made that up to keep my hand in, woot!), my spirits are genuinely lifted. Indeed, as you can see you have [provoked me to play once again with words I so love. Thank you for your care. And to show that not all is mired in the Slough of Despond, I now present to you some post-MBT/TFT (= The Foundling's Tale) doodlings for your delectation. (WARNING: This is pretty nerdy, rivet-counting stuff, but that's where I am a Viking so there I shall - and do - go...) The first is the plan of a vessel I hope to write about soon. The next are some mottle and harness diagrams of various states within the Haacobin empire and some realms without too (these are but a sample of a much larger work where I am attempting to fathom the appearance of as many states/realms as I can).

Extra-curricular bogle action

These are by a fellow MBT-er, Ryan Kjolberg , or Kjolbergart as he is known here. He is currently "studying to become a concept artist and wants to ultimately become a movie director" and has taken some time out to do us the honour of working up some bogles of his own. As I said to him in reply, they are "absolutely spot on, the combination of fur and fleshy, snaggle-tooth jaws, the intensity of the eyes; it reminds me of just how damn scary a place the Half-Continent could be to live in and how people's fear and prejudice against monsters is in some way well-founded and fair." Thank you so much for these Ryan. I hope you all like 'em too... (These images are of course (c) copyright Ryan Kjolberg, and are used by his pernission) Anyone else got things to share? Also, please consider 'signing' the online petition saying No Parallel Importation of Books into Australia , if you have not already - for those who want to know more about this issue here i...
