Sailor Jerry Tattoo Flash: Volume One, Rise and Shine REPRINT
by Don Ed Hardy
Don Ed Hardy and Hardy Marks Publications originally published this book in 1996 as a tribute to Ed's mentor, Norman Keith Collins (1911-1973), the famed Sailor Jerry. We are proud to rerelease this important collection again! Jerry was one of the most influential tattooers in American history, and this volume and others by Hardy Marks Publications are largely responsible for his well deserved notoriety.
"For Jerry, the shape of an eagle's wing or the method of shading a rose were matters of almost religious import. This ironclad conviction, combined with his masterful hand and unswerving determination, create these paintings' magnetic force. One does not have to be tattooed to appreciate the following record of a primary midcentury folk art tradition, expressed by one of its greatest practitioners." - Don Ed Hardy
With 50 sheets of flash from the Mike Malone collection, featuring hundreds of tattooable designs, and an introduction by Don Ed Hardy, this book is a must have for tattoo artists and aficionados alike! We have seen this important book on American tattoo history reach exorbitant prices on the aftermarket and are proud to bring it back at an affordable price!
