OAKLAND

About a year ago I had the pleasure of being asked/commissioned to design a tattoo for a friend of mine. Many months later, that design/drawing finally was completed. I thank him for his endless patience and encouragement.We had a few back and forths on concepts and ideas, but basically he just wanted a theme of "Oakland". Naturally I started sketching out landmarks that said "Oakland" to me, plus a few things more personal to him. The outcome presented a positive challenge to me. Landmarks equate to buildings, architecture, straight lines, landscapes, etc. All of which I'm not used to drawing (I've never used a ruler so much in a drawing before). So it was fun and exciting to be drawing subject matter that I'm not used to. I hope it came out as well as he was hoping. It will be a pleasure and honor to hopefully see this one day covering his back.This is Oakland.oaklandNever ever grow up!- Dru
