A collaborative piece with my friend Enkel Dika - it's our take on the legendary Medusa of Greek mythology fame. Drawn in Adobe Photoshop and painted with watercolors (with digital editing.) Made for and printed over at Threadless.

EDIT: I AM aware that people have tattooed this design - though I would still prefer to be notified, if you'd like to take this drawing to your tattoo parlor by all means go ahead... just make sure you're really certain.

And send me a picture.

Beauty Before Death by *alicexz is an outstanding t-shirt graphic that shows us a different interpretation of the wonderful story of Medusa's Myth. Very expressive, super detailed with wonderful colors. You must click on the link to see how it looks on a real shirt. Great concept! ( Suggested by longtu and Featured by NunoDias )

I find this so stunning, looking at this gave me an idea for a tattoo. And this might seem crazy but I was wondering if you'd draw it for me? If you did that would be freaking awesome because I'm not so great at drawing.

I got the outline of this tattooed on me almost a year ago, just need the money to get this beautiful piece finished!
I spent 6 hours in the chair to get this much done and the outline isn't really finished yet. Still looks amazing!

I just love this picture of Medusa so much, it's so unique but it still implies the legend of Medusa by looking at it. It's so wonderful and the usage of colours is amazing and eye-catching. Well done, I love it : ) [link]

If I was anything more than dirt poor I would so buy this shirt, but then I would never wear it. It would be hanging up an my wall next to all of my other favorite works of art. I enjoy the movements of Medusa's snakes, giving them personality instead of having them just lay there. The added colors in her hair, rather that just the greens and browns of the serpents was a very nice surprise. Beautiful work. Also, I love the little tentacle in there. It was unexpected.
