I love how these came out, and I'm still on the hunt for a tattoo artist to convert these into skink.

I'm looking for places to work, and I'd love to find somewhere where I don't have to hide my political or economic positions from people I interact with on a daily basis.

When I search for "communist businesses in the US", I get a long list of historical organizations that were the targets of HUAC, plenty of articles about investigations by senators into Chinese military companies, and other unhelpful garbage propaganda.

Surely there are some companies or organizations that are looking for employees, not just volunteers, but man are they hard to find.

I was designing myself a tattoo and got a little carried away vectorizing and re-drawing monks' illustrations from old manuscripts. This poster is the full version, and I'm getting 5" stickers printed of each one, individually. Some of them just look dumb, and others make you wonder what the hell the description was that the artists were going off of. I love how little they knew about aquatic animals, and how many of them just got feet because they didn't know what was going on underwater. Others clearly have human faces because animal faces are hard. Some are understandable because European monks probably didn't have access to a hippo, but others like a cat, owl or fish surely were around. They got human faces anyway.

When you're planning out a tattoo, do you find the artist and then decide what you want, or do you come up with an idea and then find an artist whose style matches what you want? If the latter, how do you find that artist? Do you just search through the local shops or social media to find someone whose style matches what you want, or is there some sort of database where you can search artists by style and location?

I've got a series of medieval animal illustrations that I'd like to turn into a sleeve. It's fully designed (aside from whatever twist the artist wants to put on each one to match their style), but picking an artist who can trace a printout seems as if it would do them a disservice for the work they're putting into it. I'd love to not have to drive for ten hours to get what will likely be multiple days of work, and searching for artists that do engraving or woodcut styles don't seem to have a web presence anywhere nearby.
