Panther progess

I found these images of the Panther piece uploaded a while back...alot of people assumed the panther was stencilled...I worked on it freehand for various reasons - first and perhaps more importantly is that I wanted each piece (esp. with pictures) to have its own feeling, to possess some kind of distinctive way of presenting itself rather than being confined to a stencilled and simulated plastic sense of existing. Thus, although the panther has a source of inspiration, its existence in/on the client's skin is determined not by this source but within the space and temporal frames of its inking process...(apologies for the image qualities)
