Day Of The Dead Girl

I designed this day of the dead girl tattoo just because I've noticed they are quite popular. I thought it would also make a cool t-shirt design too.

Three Strand Cord Tattoo

I designed this tattoo for Richard and Deb Sheppard. They came up with the composition and I just prettied it up a bit and coloured. The purple is the colour of royalty (God). The white is the bride and the black is the groom.

Paramore Hayley Williams Poster

I designed this hoping the band paramore would notice it and use it for either a tour poster or a tshirt design.

Hello Sailor Girl Tattoo

I designed this hello sailor girl tattoo for Clément Fortot. Clément asked for a pinup style sailor girl who was winking, with a banner saying "Hello Sailor" Clément also asked me to incorporate a swallow into the design somehow. The Number 42 is a number related to his family. Copyright Sam Phillips www.samphillips.co.nz

Purple House Cafe Logo

I designed these logos for Donna Pengelly. Donna asked me to design a logo for her new cafe "The Purple House" Donna chose to use the logo on the top left and the bottom logo. www.samphillips.co.nz/purple-house-cafe-logo

I once was lost but now I am found tattoo

These tattoos were designed for Alex Cassin who wanted a crow and banner with the words "I once was lost" and a cardinal bird and banner with the words "But now I am found. These were designed for the tops of his feet. Alex also asked the designs to be very similar to the city and colour, sometimes cover art.Copyright Sam Phillips www.samphillips.co.nz
