“A bootleg cyborg warrior from the void, here to vanquish his enemies and make tough tattoos.”
The definitive collection of drawings by legendary South African artist and founder of Tomb Tattoo, Nicholas Mudskipper. As if unearthed from the ruins of a dystopian world, this book presents the relics of a forgotten warrior—raised by cyborgs to become one of the most prolific tattoo artists of his generation.
SOFT FLESH, HARD TATTOOS - Over 180 pages of rescued linework: skulls, reapers, kaijus, ghouls, faces of death, warriors, sorcery, and countless bootlegs, collected from sketchbooks nearly lost forever the day he passed.
Also included: A 14-page graphic novel and epic chapter covers illustrated by Adam Vu Noir.
Part memorial, part fantasy, this book honors the singular vision of an artist whose imagination still echoes far beyond this world.
