Description

I have had my Beautiful Dreamer theme sketchbook going since May 2000. I've always regretted that I would never have the opportunity to get a sketch of Dreamer by Jack Kirby himself. Also, practically all of Kirby's original artwork is out of my budget. And then my girlfriend came up with a suggestion, the next best thing, you might say... a tattoo of the character.

Becca Roach, who previously did my Watchmen tattoo, did this for me, as well. It's located on my left leg, and is based on the Who's Who profile of Beautiful Dreamer drawn by Kirby and Greg Theakston (who always did a nice job inking Kirby's pencils). It came out incredibly well.

Becca is currently working at North Star Tattoo, at 74 East 7th Street in NYC. She also has a website, http://beccaroach.com/home.html

I don't really care for tattoos, but if you've got to get one I agree that Kirby is the way to go! You're a very dedicated fan, and selected a great image.

Nice stuff, Ben!! I vote for dedicated, not deranged. I just hope Jack and Greg got credited...(perhaps on your foot?) LOL Congrats!

Very nice image, but I suppose that you'll have to start shaving your leg(s) from now on?
