My man Julian Lamb of Ruby Crush sent me some quick snaps of his latest work; this stuff ain’t on his site yet (though I hope it will be soon); so this is a preview or what’s to come. He sent me several but i particularly want to feature this, which I think us simply awesome.

He’s perfectly captured the look of the classic swallow tattoo (which represents both home, and freedom, in classic sailor tattoo lore). It’s a stunning piece. I love how Julian’s work is developing; if I had the cash I’d buy one almost everything he’s shown me.
