LeChuck Lives!



This posting marks two events - ONE; I realized that I have somehow continued to blog here for just over a year and TWO; The first appearance of a human nipple in a post. This amazing tattoo work was created on the living tissue of brave Monkey Island fan Alex Melgarejo who graciously allowed me to share these shots. I sort of recall posting that source artwork here but for the life of me I can't find it (must be the lead poisoning). The Tat was done by Bulgarian artist Ivasha and just goes to show - Be careful what you draw, because someone may choose to inscribe it on their body for all time.

Whoa, very permanent! But it came out looking really good, actually.

How does that make you feel, Steve? I've been reluctant to design tattoos for my friends, because I don't think I can take on that kind of a responsibility.

Well...few generations grew up influenced by your design...

You shouldn't be surprised by this :)

I'm hoping to have Max tattooed on my arm soon, just looking for the perfect image of that little guy...
