Collaboration with Iris Knippels

A while ago I started working on a collaborative piece with Iris Knippels, a super talented tattoo artist from Holland.
I wish she had a website so I could show you all how freaking mind blowing her stuff is.
She sent me a quick sketch of what she had in mind, as a reference for body positioning and suggested to use fur of some kind (to make it hard for herself, I guess).

These are a couple of pictures from the set I sent her.

She then worked her magic and using a simple pencil on a A3 piece of paper she ended up drawing this

The details are so beautiful and the feathers on the arm are a touch of genius, if you ask me. That’s what I love most about collaboration:  having someone talented take my work on a completely different level and making it so much better

    The compositing of the three photos into one drawing is super interesting to me, the way art can move from “reality” into an idealization of reality.

    Very very very interesting!

    Ora commento un po’ invidioso: mamma come sei magra… :)
