Edmund Is a wonderful soul and he has introduced me to Aztecs , Greece mythology and more besides his knowledge is vast, we wove together a story on his torso that depicts many different myths and ancient symbolism. When I paint I&#8217;m only ever half listening to my model but Edmunds knowledge is so vast and captivating. Perhaps that&#8217;s the reason we didn&#8217;t finish.<br/> I was under the impression he lived in Brighton but he is in the middle of a lush forest in Sussex. Which meant I nearly missed the last train back to London Town.<br/> Stay tuned for the next story of Katherine the human typewriter body paint on Tuesday.&#160;!!!</p>http://maskoff.tumblr.com/post/50851323776http://maskoff.tumblr.com/post/50851323776Sun, 19 May 2013 17:12:35 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/cc98258f51548cde684e70510d8bd918/tumblr_mn2cz8zUZn1qdty4xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Edmund the ancient mariner #colorini #ink #facade</p>http://maskoff.tumblr.com/post/50850257596http://maskoff.tumblr.com/post/50850257596Sun, 19 May 2013 16:59:32 -0400facadecoloriniink<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/cc98258f51548cde684e70510d8bd918/tumblr_mn2cyzfttg1qdty4xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Edmund the ancient mariner #colorini #ink #facade</p>http://maskoff.tumblr.com/post/50850245484http://maskoff.tumblr.com/post/50850245484Sun, 19 May 2013 16:59:23 -0400facadecoloriniink<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/89c0c959d2fccc1630151b380a6dd13c/tumblr_mn2ckq1R9c1qdty4xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Here’s my ancient mariner tattoo today with the Greek god Janos In the middle.

The story of Edmund the ancient mariner searching for his demon brother battling against the mirrored smoke of Aztec texcatlipoca through the gate of Greek Janos. </p> <p>I asked my model and friend Edmund to give me a few words pertaining to his history and ideas that he liked, I wove together this story of his character as I find its better to create a character within their environment and tell the story through depicting the icons and symbolism on their skin. <br/> It’s much more immersive than simply saying a few words of inspiration. </p> <p>I may run out of ink,<br/> I may run out of time <br/> But myself and dear Edmund will have fun with this tattooed mariner</p>http://maskoff.tumblr.com/post/50767477279http://maskoff.tumblr.com/post/50767477279Sat, 18 May 2013 19:30:38 -0400prisontattoo tattoo ancientmariner noose<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/24ab6c83806587d9035ee499f9775098/tumblr_mmzlazc3Ai1qdty4xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#haul from @paintopoia #camelion and #superstar water based paints.
