Cultura Tattoo Sketchbook

Here’s a book that’s inspired by the Mexican culture and history. Artist Tattoo Duke has gathered his collection of drawings, from fully rendered color images, to collages and unique hand sketches, and compiled them into this amazing reference source. Not only does this book feature artwork that could be described as "Gangsta" or "Street", but it also features Aztec warriors, Raza-style artwork, Graffiti Art, even American Indian themes.  The key, as with all art, is the shading. When the shading is done correctly it changes the entire impact of the artwork, whether it’s rendered in full color or simply sketched in black & grey.


This book features everything from beautifully, fully-shaded intricate collages, to simple sketches showing the design process. Tattoo Duke’s artwork is a must for any artist/client that celebrates Mexican culture through tattoo designs.
