Geometric Ornamental Tapestry
Artist: Russ Abbott Collector: Forrest
Forrest, a seasoned collector, presented Russ with the intricate challenge of designing on the ribs, spanning from armpit to hip. Drawing from Middle Eastern architectural artistry, Russ employed advanced pattern brushes from Tattoo Smart to conceive a design rooted in Islamic aesthetics. This piece seamlessly integrates Russ's signature ornamental scrollwork, harmonizing with Forrest's existing tattoos. If you appreciate intricate designs and wish to merge traditional motifs with innovative techniques, Russ awaits your collaboration.
The Stenciling Process
Crafted with precision, this intricate Islamic pattern was conceived using an innovative brush style developed in partnership with Tattoo Smart. Leveraging the brush's unique ability to adjust line thickness with Apple Pencil pressure, Russ Abbott envisioned a three-dimensional carved and sculpted design. While the design, when distilled to a minimal outline for stenciling, presented a meticulous challenge, Russ's vast expertise in 3D effects prevailed.
