Tattooed Disney Princesses by Jamie Frevele | 2:29 pm, July 31st, 2011 What better combination of art forms is there than Disney and tattoos? Well, if you’re a Disney geek with tattoos (or a Disney geek who appreciates them), then there is nothing better. So when DeviantARTist Telegrafix aka Timothy John Shumate (who is also a tattoo artist) whips up some tattoo-friendly designs inspired by Disney, we’re bound to pay attention. Who could rock old school sailor tattoos better than the Little Mermaid herself? When you’ve had to deal with an evil stepmother, attempted murder, and seven roommates, it’s time to treat yourself to some personal art. Minnie isn’t inked in this, but this is a new side of Mickey’s squeeze. Onto the non-Disney princesses: An inked Lincoln. This voodoo woman would be an unbelievably colorful, beautiful piece: And, to conclude, Chtulhu, mustachioed, in a bowler. Who else thinks it’s time for Disney to consider tattooed protagonists?

3D Paintings on Panes of Glass Using multiple layers of clear glass, Canada based David Spriggs and Chinese born Xia Xiaowan, transform flat artwork into 3D sculptures. Viewers are treated to different shifting perspectives of the works based on where they stand in the art space. Spriggs work revolves around powerful explosive imagery, often resembling storms, cosmic blasts or firework like explosions. Xiawan’s “spatial paintings,” which often feature distorted figures, are drawn individually using colored pencil on tinted glass. Only when these pieces are combined on their floor racks do the images create the whole hologram like effect.
