Tattooing the Invisible Man: Bodies of Work 1955-1999
Currently available is a massive survey book
of Don Ed Hardy's career, beginning with his extensive tattoo flash drawings
as a child of ten, on through surf art, printmaking work at the San Francisco
Art Institute, into his tattoo career from the mid-1960s to the present
day as well as work in a variety of other media. Tattooing the Invisible
Man features over 500 full color illustrations of drawings, lithographs,
