CRACK THE MARBLE.
The big homey Richard came through to add to his collection~inner left bicep.

He wanted to add Christ with a twist. You might recognize The Crack from previous illustrations on some other characters, tattoos and the recent collaboration with The Hundreds.

The Crack symbolizes the break of time and imagery, regardless of how beautiful, pristine or strong any image may be, the surface quality will never last forever. Eventually time will rot, decay and take the subject back to it’s true formless nature.

Here’s a shot of the outer portion of his sleeve. I say it everytime, but it always blows me away every time I see a renaissance piece. Seeing a 25 year old Michelangelo sculpt this rock has caused some severe headaches, and very unhealthy work habits. Definitely a fun session, still a final one to go to wrap up Richard’s sleeve.
