Spider Webb's American Eagle Tattoo Flash (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780764349607)

For the first time in book form, tattoo artist Spider Webb shares one of his crowning artistic achievements, presenting 100 examples of patriotic American Eagle tattoo flash in a dizzying variety of arrangements, with striking elements from both classic and modern eras. In this collection that includes nautical, psychedelic, and old-school themes, every striking piece honors American individuality and sacrifice in a unique way. Spider combined his gifts for tattooing and conceptual art to create the original work of art upon which this compilation is based, a 500-foot strip of 200 flash sheets depicting the most recognized national symbol of strength and independence. Reproduced in this highly collectible volume is the first half of this project, which was exhibited in its entirety at the Coney Island Museum in 2008. A vibrant and exciting aesthetic experience, this stimulating peek into the American tattooing tradition is ideal for fans of tattoo design and 20th-century American pop art.
