new tattoo

juuuuust kidding. i was bored yesterday and drew this on myself.

but i did enjoy telling my family it was real and watching their expressions. basically, they don't like me getting more tattoos, but obviously, if i were to get one and show it to them, it's permanent, so they're going to try to be supportive, even if they don't think i should have gotten it. it's funny, because you get that split second of the expression that reads "lauren! nooooo," before they say "oh cool, that looks awesome!" haha
i'm a really great sister/daughter/granddaughter.


the "tattoo" was based off of this illustration for the story "faust" by harry clarke. i'd never heard of either before i saw this illustration, but now i'm on a hunt for a book of his. i found a few fairy tale books he'd illustrated on amazon that i might try out. we'll see. you should check out some of his stuff. it's all really eerie and dreamlike, and very detailed which are all characteristics that i love in art.
