i love that her paintings exude the beauty of the ladies in the 1920's and 1930's. they are playful and funny too... she currently has two books out: tattoo darling (2007), and tattoo mystique (2009).
i'm eagerly waiting for her third book: black and white linedrawings - perfect for tattoo artists (as flash, or templates) perhaps, or for a fan, like me!
here are some of angelique's work that i absolutely adore:
"damita"
"lina"
"magda"
"marie"
i hope you enjoyed her as much as i do... if you would like to follow angelique's work, check out the following links:
