ISBN: 0945367163

Third Printing, softcover in blue pictorial gatefold wraps. Light shelf wear to front and back panels, very minor wear to bottom edge, and small soiling to front panel and first and last pages. 61 pp. Replete with full-page, full-color flash sheets of Sailor Jerry's tattoo designs. Includes an Introduction by American tattoo artist and friend of Jerry, Don Ed Hardy and a letter from Jerry to Hardy. Monograph dedicated to the celebrated Hawaii-based tattoo artist, Norman Keith Collins, or Sailor Jerry, who spent much of his career in Honolulu's Chinatown, working primarily with seafaring men. The influence of these factors can be seen through the recurring themes and subjects of his work shown here: beautiful women, nautical objects, patriotism, animals, and much more. A wonderfully illustrated reference to Jerry's pioneering work with the American Traditional style, providing great examples of this midcentury folk art tradition.
