BloodWork: Bodies

Description

Following up his first compilation, "BloodWork: Sleeves", Adrian Lee presents the two-volume, 900-page collection, "BloodWork: Bodies."

Taking 4 years to complete, Lee and photographer Max Dolberg visited 5 countries, worked with 53 tattooists, and documented 119 tattoo back pieces and suits for the latest "Bloodworks" collection.

The collection features oversized foldouts of each tattoo, offering massive views, close-up studies revealing hidden details, and portraits of tattooers as well as collectors personalize each image set.

The collection has been carefully crafted using heavy art paper, cloth binding, debossed foil and blind stamping, subtle matte and gloss treatments, fifth color spot, and a sturdy slipcase. Its design and construction are to be enjoyed today but will be of most value to the generations to come.

Additionally, the accompanying ether based 360-degree rotation libraries, with the ability to rotate and zoom each collector on a single 360-degree axis, the tattoos unfold to the viewer as they would if observed in person. Each copy of "BloodWork: Bodies" comes with codes that will grant the owner access to the extensive web-based 360-degree galleries. Once logged in, the holder has unrestricted access to the entire reference archive.

While the two-volume set of exquisite photos and accompanying web-based 360° libraries make for an invaluable reference tool, the deeper raison d'etre behind "BloodWork: Bodies" is as a vessel to generously preserve the works of contemporary tattooers for future generations. Of equal importance, it presents the tattoos in the light their beauty commands. As a whole it is a sublime representation of the illuminated man.
