Celtic 'Speyside Cross' Tattoo

Today a custom commission for this Celtic cross challenged me to create a completely connected woven knotwork, never-ending, representing the beginning and continuity of life. Like the waters of life that come from the Speyside, the epic production of the Scots. A sweet complexity for the discerning.

'Wolfhound Wheel' Celtic Tattoo

Today a man who teaches University level creative arts asked for a custom tattoo based on a design from the 8th c. Book of Kells. Since the original is only the size of a quarter and features cats, we used my redrawn Irish Wolfhound version in the traditional colors.
