Hangin’ There: Suspension Art

Mari (more) just sent me this pretty suspension painting she did inspired by some of the suspension pictures on ModBlog (note to the jealous: I didn’t get an actual painting, just an email). Oh yeah, and if you didn’t notice, I added an Art subsection that I’ll start posting to I hope, and I’ve moved a “what’s new on BME” list of galleries into the left bar, and you should see a search form in the next day or two as well!

Celtic Shamrock

Now, the core picture in this design (the “celtic shamrock”) is fairly common and is probably on quite a few sheets of flash, but I think this is a good example of how you can take a popular motif and tattoo it a little bigger, a little cleaner, a little brighter, and with a few extra features (like the negative space clovers) and turn it from overdone to something unique and far more effective. This tattoo is by Justin Weatherholtz at Wizard’s World in Douglassville, PA.
