Another Bible

I’m pleased to say that Tattoo Bible, Book II, is in stock. Book II is another collaboration with Superior Tattoo, the biggest provider of professional tattoo equipment in the US of A and possibly the world. This new book comes to you as free-flowing tattoo flash. Unlike Book I, there are no categories and no chapters as such. Most of the art, collected from the archives at Superior, is printed full size without a white border. Not only does this make the images larger, the full bleed makes the flash seem almost too big and too nice to be contained on a page.

A totally different animal than Book I, Tattoo Bible Book II is in stock and ready to ship.

Only One Week Late
Today we send the files for the Classic Triumph Calendar, 2011, to the printer. This is only one week late, which is pretty good for us. I spent Saturday shooting the last image we needed to complete the package, and would have done the photo shoot earlier but Baxter Cycle in Marne, Iowa didn’t have the restored 1950 Thunderbird assembled yet.

The early hardtail Triumphs, like this ’53 Thunderbird, have their own very mechanical look.

Sheet Metal Bible
Stacked up right behind the Classic Triumph Calendar is the next book, Sheet Metal Bible. As noted before, this new book is a compilation of our past sheet metal books, with some new photos from Bruce Terry, and a chapter of Henry J work. The Henry J tin work is a team effort between local legend Rob Roehl, and some guy named Tim Remus.

Our next sheet metal book, drawn from a wealth of earlier articles with some new material, goes to the printer this week.
