Mental Toughness part 2

Here is an illustration I did a few months ago for Dirt Rag. It was a 2 part article, this being the second.

I liked it and it seems that I found someone else who really liked it too. Kurt Gillespie, a Dirt Rag reader & super stoked mountain bike rider had this permanently attached to himself recently by Jared Phair of Dragon FX Tattoo and Piercing in Edmonton Alberta.

I noticed a few subtle changes that were made and I think they were really well done. I like Jared's flames better than mine.

Sweet.

Yet another illustration for IF, turned in on Wednesday.

I love the Mexican wrestlers & their masks. There is something "cartoony" but very serious at the same time. No wonder they are so popular in Mexico.

This is for Illustration Friday, although it's Wednesday, and the topic is might.

The chief shows his might by wearing a headdress with many eagle feathers. This may be a stretch, but I had him in my head & he had to come out!

I may do a graphic version of this for a tattoo design.
