Tattoo


Cows are tattooed all the time for identification purposes... why not something a little more romantic and sensitive as opposed to the usual R1234.

Would be fun to see cows with nice tatoos like this. I totaly agree with you. I like your style!

Vern Mercado said...

now that is a "hip" cow. how do you see the tatoo through his fur. great image.

Lee said...

great idea...why not make it attractive and functional for the cow? fun illustration!

Caroline B. said...

That's too funny!

Roz Foster said...

Yes! Cows are people, too. Now this cow looks tragically forlorn in a hip, Courtney Love sort of way. Your skills shine, Suzan!

Amy Zaleski said...

What a great idea! Your skill with light and shadow in the digital medium is just amazing. I love what you've done with the clouds as well.

LOL too funny! My parents have cows. They aren't branded, but they are tagged. Maybe I will suggest this alternate method ;)

Thank you for coming by my blog!

Good point, this might make me appreciate cows a little bit.

Kim de Young said...

The cow looks sort of sad...I hate the idea of tatooing an animal. It makes me think that it is marked for slaughter or something. Anyway, your idea of at least being romatic is some consolation! Be that as it may, I love your style. You really have great control of shape and color put together is such wonderful compositions.

très bon ! a little change from the ordinary cow tattoo !

letile said...

That's such a fun idea!

Ian T. said...

Yeah, except that brand is going to fly away... and the calf still doesn't look happy :). Nice work!

i like your images, very saturated. the cow is of particular interest, because for 'tattoo' i almost did a cow with a bar code, but opted for my circus poster instead...i like your take on it!
