I just wrapped up this tattoo-inspired, nautical-themed pinup illustration for Tattooed Hippie Pirate Mommas.

Referenced from photographs of THPM members along with countless image searches for classic tattoos, the piece was sketched digitally for quick changes/approvals.

Next up I printed out blue lines on 11×17 bristol and inked them by hand, then scanned, traced & tweaked it in illustrator to output a final vector file (that you see here).

When they get the t-shirts printed up I’ll be sure and show them off!
