I have always treated this guy with suspicion and got a weird sense of fakeness from his "designs"

after he took down a recent rip when he was called out i decided to let my intuition roam.

and yes, i know we all reference things from time to time but to do it so blatantly and vehemently deny any knowledge of the original every time is shameless.

im sure i dont need to clarify which are his: http://mintees.com/people/176861-rumble-ad

    This is from this morning when I posted the envelope/hand tattoo image on his design. I'll just leave it here.

    i like how he gave the polar bear crossed eyes like a fly landed on his nose.
  • cityhall

    Is it totally fucking perfect that his last remaining t-shirt on here is called "Bon Voyage"?

    I actually didn't have to do much research. It's a Jim Sylvia tattoo. Dude is pretty bold to rip some of the tattoo artists he did.
  • Craig Robson

    its all first page google stuff.
  • anchored by land

    lmao .K nvm. he did an awesome job keeping his designs from being seen like this. he didnt even change them even a little bit ,maybe a few things taken out . but thats it
  • Sol Amstutz

    There's definitely a difference between referencing something/being influenced and just straight up biting it. This guy does not know the difference.
  • dobi

    i'm just waiting for his response and then he is gone. this is laughable.
  • dobi

    boom! found another.

    Isn't this the same guy that told Craig that he wasn't a real tattoo artist, so he had no right to critique someone else's tattoo style design? I'm sure I worded it a bit more coherently, but in any case, I find it most amusing.

    Apparently the real tattoo guys are the ones that trace over real tattoos.

    Was looking at the memorial day sale thread, after reading this one, and noticed this. Not calling anyone out for a rip but that eagle was definitely referenced

  • dominantdinosaur

    master of tracing :P i do remember the comment made about the head anatomy one in the critiques thread or the sketchs one. good work
  • Spill Your Gutts

    I'm not sure why no one else has said this yet, and I know it's a bit late but...
    He's been rumbled... HA. Sorry poor sense of humour.
  • anchored by land
