Max Tat


My scanner is offline for the moment but when it's back I'll be posting a bunch of character paintings and such in the near future. Just to keep things moving here's a glimpse at one fine Max tattoo. The recipient is Matt Kristek, a funny and talented cartoonist/filmmaker who I knew even before he was old enough to make the decision to disfigure himself with such mocking, belligerent skin art. Maybe I should learn to do these myself.

Hey that's me! I still wear that thing with as much pride as day one. That photo of me represents a period in my life where I made two very ballsy decisions about my appearance. At least I could shave off the non-permanent one.

I'm dying to get a Max tattoo but I can't find the right picture of the lil guy. I'm trying to find something with him standing upright and grinning, or better still one of him standing with one foot on top of something, a pose of VICTORY, which I could have above the tattoo of my ex-wife :-P

Best tattoo ever, seriously who wouldn't want a Max tattoo?

Hey Steve, I've noticed the tattoo pictures coming in steady and I wanted to add my own...which is very much in the process. So much so, that I'm kind of stuck where its at. If you have ANY ideas (since you ARE the artist after all) please don't hesitate to offer suggestions, feedback, sketches... :D I'd love to get input from you directly on more of a designer/illustrator aspect but I'll take anything from fans too.

dear Mr. Purcell,
if I wanted to commission a Max sketch/drawing to be permanently inked on my body, how much money would I have to throw at you?

@Zane The problem with that is that Seve would be bombarded with increasingly desperate requests for bespoke artwork, rendering him confused, emfeebled and unable to carry out his good work :-) Perhaps having seen the demand for tattoos of that lil' guy he could dow few line art images of Max ideally suited for tattooing. Then we can all happily run along to our nearest scarification parlour and knock ourselves out. Better still, we could all meet at a biannual convention where we compare our bodyparts and discuss which of the five possible Max rats we liked best :-P

Hmm, this is why I usually try to avoid posting from my phone :-/ "dow" = "do a", "rats" = "tats", and I did of course mean Steve, not his redoubtable Hispanic counterpart Sevé.

OH!!! I love it. Max is so cute and commercial xD

If it weren't for my crippling fear of needles, I would totally get a tattoo just like this...

Actually that is a question I had, there is a peice of artwork, for a Article Of Sam&Max, and I would really like to get it branded on my skin.

How would I go around getting your approval to get this?
