New book of Mitch O'Connell tattoos

Artist extraordinaire Mitch O'Connell has a new book out, called Tattoos Volume Two: 251 Designs, Bigger and Better! Mitch and I've known each other since we were both 16 years old at Boulder High School. (He was in marching band. Here's his photo.) He was a terrific artist then and I hated him for it. Decades later, my hate has mellowed to mere jealously and bitterness.

You can get a copy on Amazon, or buy a signed/inscribed copy direct from the Mitch (with extra surprises).
