gougetheeyes Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hogg, that Chris Brand back piece is fucking killer. This thread is only making it more difficult to wrap my head around even starting to think about what will go on my back. Which is good, actually.

RockelMan Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 When it comes to such a large area it seems that almost anything is possible. I was just searching on Google images and found piles of full back pieces. Here are a few that stuck out as being really amazing.

Jake Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 SBoyer mentioned Bert Grimm in the rock of ages thread and it made me remember his piece on Lyle Tuttle's back...

Jake Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 tonight's post is featuring all back pieces/body suits by the absurdly talented Filip Leu. I'm actually a little surprised no one's posted any pics of his yet in this thread...

WeRnDoG Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Who originated the stylized finger waves,? A lot of artists do their version of the Filip Leu waves but he does it Best.

Jake Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 This man deserves his own thread, but I'm definitely not qualified enough to start it. Perhaps Bryan Burk, Juan Puente, or someone else who has spent time in Japan with him would like to... Anyways, here's a brief sample of the legendary Horiyoshi III's work. For those who want to learn/see more, Juan Puente has a photo book out that you should buy.

Petri Aspvik Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Maan, this thread is killer. Clark North had a great backpiece concept painting in his myspace years back. Couldnt find it anymore. It was kinda like Filips only water but with cherry blossoms. How I like my backpieces. Like breathing in and out. Simple and calm.

Perez Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I saw this thing recently by a fellow named Judd Ripley. Check out how soft and buttery those blends are!

gougetheeyes Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Goddamn, Filip Leu.. those maple leaves! On a similar note to Perez's post, I really love Sid's tattoos. Would really like to get something from him at some point -- bigger the better!
