In these cases I was unfortunately far away from the stage, so someone’s hand and a white object was in front of me. These were carefully removed in PhotoShop by using the healing tool and the cloning tool.

A design for the forearm.

The client wanted a seal to represent his family name, which starts with the letter R.

The sign was to show energy, activity and the inspiration to push forward, while honoring the client’s roots.

The design was to be kept simple and minimalistic.
