NEED SOME HELP, BROTHER?

11 1/2" x 8 1/2" Speedball super black India ink, Winsor Newton Series 7 #2 brush, Niji waterbrush and watercolor in Moleskine A4 sketchbook.  A few years ago actor Ian McKellen was taking a break from rehearsals for the play Waiting For Godot. He was dressed as his character, a tramp, sitting on a bench outside the theater when a passerby dropped a dollar into his hat saying :Need some help, brother?"  A great story that helps me to remember the less fortunate during this holiday season.

JAPANESE TATTOO FLASH ONI

JAPANESE TATTOO FLASH - ONI - 11 1/2" x 8 1'2" Fude brush, Yasutomo india ink and Ph Martin's Bombay inks in Moleskine A3 sketchbook. The Oni Mask tattoo in Japanese tattoos is extremely common and refers to the belief in a spirit world in which demons carry out their roles of punishing the unjust and evil, as well as spreading disease (seems like a random thing to be responsible for, but I guess it fits in with the whole evil-doing business).

While Oni are known for being evil, some Oni are good and are seen as protectors. One instance of this would include a monk who becomes an Oni after death to protect his temple. In English, the word Oni is best translated as ogre or troll (the Japanese word for “demon” is actually “yokai”). Oni, in traditional Japanese folklore, we marauding ogres known for terrorizing villages and tormenting villagers. Their association with demons in Japanese tattoo art has more to do with ogres being grouped into the realm of supernatural creatures (along with yokai) than anything else. Still, the symbolism holds as the imagery of the marauding ogre isn’t far from the idea of the evil spirit which the tattoo aims to convey. - (From Richmond Tattoo)
