Description
Hardy Marks Publications is proud to announce the third volume in its Drawings for
Tattoos series, featuring more of the work of San Franciscos Don Ed Hardy. The
focus of this volume is drawings done between 1955 and 1957, when Hardy (at age
10-12) was applying tattoos with eyeliner and colored pencils on neighborhood
kids. He and his partner in the toy tattoo shop were featured in a photo article in
his local paper, which is included in this book along with pictures his work.
Hardy produced hundreds of flash design sheets during this period, before going
onto art in other mediums for ten years. He returned to actual tattooing in 1967
after graduating art school, and went on to develop the cultural and artistic
potential of the medium, leading the world to its current popularity. This volume of
his Kiddy Flash shows the precocious roots of his life-long passion.
