I do have my frankensteins monster tattoo done, its in the comic book feel of things aswell, I am trying to mix the 2 things I loved as a kid, "Horror movies and comic books" All my work is over at myspace.com/jboogeyman. As soon, as I can get alittle more money, and items, i will be posting my "horror/movie room" Im thinking of getting a 120 inch screen, and the sony project running on ebay, due to the cash flow. And who ever asked, I forget who, but my 5 classic movie picks, are easy, Frankenstein, Creautre from the black lagoon, Phantom of the oprea, Last man on earth, and Bride of Frankenstein..... Thanks J. boogeyman

Then I happened to stumble across my copy of CHFB member Frank Dietz's Things Are a Bit Sketchy. There are some nice looking Creature sketches toward the end of the book that might make for good tattoo material.

Boogeyman, if you like I can send you a .zip file with a bunch of images. You would have my permission to ink away! Send me a PM if you're interested. Frank Dietz www.sketchythings.com

It was a pleasant surprise a couple of days ago when I found it on the shelf! And it was even inscribed!!! I liked the Creature sketch on the lower left hand corner of the first Creature page a lot. It's just his head and he's looking up like he's in stalking mode. Very nice.
