Arte Tattoo - Calaveras III

We are pleased to present the third volume of our collection of artistic works featuring skulls, including paintings, drawings, sketches, real skull photos, and tattoos by more than 70 renowned artists from around the world. This volume has an additional 24 pages, for a total of 152 pages, and is available in two versions: softcover and a limited edition hardcover.

The book is divided into five sections: Color Art, Black & Grey Art, Sketches, Real Photos of Skulls, and Tattoos. The Color Art and Black & Grey Art sections feature a variety of skull works in different techniques, styles, and media, in color and black and grey, respectively. The Sketches section includes pencil and ink sketches with various levels of development. The Real Photos Skulls section features real photos of different skulls, showing different illumination and angles, or with some ornamentation. Finally, the Tattoos section showcases a range of works on skin in various styles and genres. The works in each section are organized by artist and can be easily located using the index on page 7. All works are printed in high resolution on high-quality paper, with the aim of reproducing the originals as faithfully as possible.

Unlike our other books, this volume does not have a specific style as its main focus, but rather a theme: the skull. As a result, the artistic variety of the works presented is vast, with styles ranging from realistic to surrealistic, traditional to Oriental, New School to biomechanical, and more. Many of the works feature skulls accompanied by other elements, while others focus solely on the skulls. It is clear that skulls are a favorite theme for tattoo artists and enthusiasts, as they can be found in all styles. This book offers insight into the different stages of creating a tattoo, from referencing sketches, drawings, and paintings, to taking real skull photos for reference and allowing for greater artistic freedom, to the final product on skin. We are grateful to all the artists who submitted their works and made this book possible, and to our readers for your support of our projects.
