This is my adaptation of John James Audubon's original raven illustration. There will likely be some rearranging of leaves and branches to fit the client's body.
​
Any vintage bird illustrations are subject to being tattooable again on a different body part for a different client. Every version I tattoo will be unique for the client since I approach and compose each tattoo project differently, even if I've done similar imagery before.

This is my adaptation of John James Audubon's illustration of the extinct Carolina parakeet. It's actually one bird out of a composition of many. Flip through the carousel to see the original print.
I am very open to expanding on this piece to create a composition with some of the other parakeets from the original print. Scroll through to see it.
