Despite the widespread admiration for his work, the majority of Sailor Jerry’s creations have remained under the control of a select group of collectors, accessible only through museum exhibitions, art galleries, or limited-edition self-published books. Now, however, enthusiasts and art lovers alike can revel in a significant portion of Sailor Jerry’s stencils, the latest addition to the world of tattoo collectibles. This extensive collection encompasses the entirety of his illustrious tattoo career, spanning from the 1940s to the early 1970s. Within its pages lies the foundational linework of countless stunning designs that have become synonymous with Sailor Jerry’s artistry: captivating pinups, delicate roses, enchanting bluebirds, heartfelt hearts, dynamic banners, and, of course, his notorious military and political cartoons. Each of these stencils was meticulously handcrafted by the master himself, using celluloid, vinyl, or acetate sheets, specifically for his thriving tattoo trade in downtown Honolulu. In essence, these stencils are permanent tattoos etched into plastic, enduring as timeless artifacts. Many bear the subtle remnants of charcoal dust from their last usage, an organic testament to their rich history. Furthermore, every stencil is proudly signed by Jerry, featuring one of his distinct and recognizable signatures. A true rarity in its own right, this remarkable book stands alone as a comprehensive workbook for aspiring artists, providing valuable insights into Sailor Jerry’s techniques and an array of designs to ignite their creativity. Additionally, it serves as an indispensable catalog for aficionados of folk art history, chronicling Sailor Jerry’s profound impact on the evolution of tattoo culture. For those seeking to assess the worth of these invaluable stencils, the book includes an appraisal of their value, accompanied by detailed descriptions and explanations of their intended uses. Furthermore, a comprehensive glossary of tattoo terminology awaits, ensuring a thorough understanding of the art form.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 305mmItem Length: 229mmAuthor: Kate HellenbrandGenre: Arts & PhotographyISBN-10: 0764316559Item Weight: 726gType: AnthropologyRelease Year: 2002 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
