Kitster, your an amazing artist fella, but ever since i first saw this design i couldnt stop thinking, why have our Liverbird looking so angry, it looks fuckin evil. To me its not the liverbird and i think portrays the wrong image. Only my oppinion of course, but why make it look so angry. I just dont get it. If the bird looked like our liverbird, i'de be straight down to my tattooist and add to the 3 i already have.

Hi mate - the story is i went through maybe 3000 posts and mails from Liverpool fans and took the overall general opinion about what was wanted for a banner design. an Intimidating looking banner seemed to be key to most of the posts.

it was !! paint-box on computer
I did it so the tattooist would know where I wanted colouring in.
Original tattoo was all black

Have you had it colored in yet? if so can i see a pic.

I really like it, its different and unique. excellent.

Isnt there a similar one with the liverbird holding five medals instead of/as well as a scarf?

That red looks a little bit red. The yellow is too lemony, can it be more yellow

Remind you of anyone

i like the way it looks in black and grey. http://www.redandwhitekop.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=8&pos=37 wonder how many sessions it took?

barndog · « **Reply #46 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:35:00 pm »

I would say most likely 3 sessions

Fair enough Baz, each to his own, of course. I can just imagine fans from other clubs here and in europe to maybe get the wrong idea, like "those nasty scousers" sort of shit. I think its a great piece of work from Kit but its deffo not my cup of tea. I'll get round to doing my own Liverbird one day, slightly less intimidating,i think.

Fair enough mate. I can see why it might not be your cup of tea, and would like to see the version you do.

It's got even worse since we started doing a lot of proofing by PDF - try telling them their monitor isn't calibrated...

kitster · « **Reply #54 on:** September 11, 2007, 04:51:36 pm »

Anyone wanting to get the tattoo now - there is a new reworked version of it - i repainted a lot of the image and shaped a few things up as i am having HUGE A0 poster prints made up of it for sale in the HJC shop -They have been ordered and paid for, so will be there by next week.

Hi Kit, It looks as though i'm in the minority here. The artwork is top drawer mate, it really is, it certainly gives the "wow" factor. I think i'm goin soft in my old age! I do salute you on your work la. The majority love it, it might just grow on me in time, or it might not.

I shared a bevvie with Ian Harley yesterday, he was passin through on his way back to the I.O.M. I'll get over there one day to see Ian, so it would be sound if we could share a bevvie or 3! Take care la.

Nice tattoes but what is the use of having them on the back if you cant see them. I have 2 LFC tattys on both arms, will try to upload them here if I can do it.

Seriously that's some really bad job. Look at the ball for example. Feel sorry for your mates bro.

That is brilliant! Absolutely brilliant. I've been planning to take one like that for a while now. Should just go and get it done.

Kitster hi.
Shanklyboys tattoo, the 1st one with shankly and his outstretched arm- any chance you could send me a pic suitable for a tattoist to work with?
nice one.

Agreed, I'd be embarrassed to show that to anyone. No shading or perception of depth, badly drawn lines... seriously I'd be asking for something in the way of the guys tattooing hand on a plate.

the Shankly Gates YNWA sign will be my next LFC tattoo.
