Begging for rep points is so uncool.

Batman is just cool you guys.

the overspray is for the effect. it looks like poor craftsmanship in the picture, but i wanted to get the stencil effect into the design. if i did a complete duplicate of the batman logo, with the all black and yellow, i would not have went for the same effect. i decided to go for more of a "grafitti" look, and put it crooked on the cover


i know that makes no sense.

"having batman on my manifold cover to me; is like you wearing honda underpants"

yea that looks pretty sloppy. i know you tried to do an "effect" to make it look a certain way but i think it backfired. but hey, whatever you like. p.s. didnt batman drive a corvette, not a fit?

you guy's don't know art!

i like it, that's all that matters to me. it came out a lot better than the vision i had before i painted it. i had the effect, the contours all in my favor. however, i am planning on eventually, doing it over with a higher quality paint, something that will dry much much harder.

my job involves me drawing other people's visions on their body, i never agree with what they think is the ideal picture, the ideal peice of art, and i'm positive that most people don't 'get' my tattoos, but what is special to someone, has no meaning to the next person. i would say i 'get' most art, most designs, but i certainly don't agree. as people do the same for me.

what is "sloppy" to you guys, is art to me.

what is fantastic to you, is 'boring' to me.

but we are all fit freaks.

so what if i don't fit in to the "JDM" mold, some fits were born to be themselves. and some manifold covers were born to have a "sloppy" batman logo on them.
