Tattoo Illustrator project

For this project, I wanted to create something that felt deeply personal but still simple enough to say a lot without overexplaining. The tattoo design I landed on is built around four letters A, T, K, and C stacked vertically, each one carrying its own meaning while still working together as a single message. The idea was to turn color, typography, and symbolism into something I could literally carry with me, something that represents not just who I am, but who I come from.

Each letter ties directly to my siblings and the values they represent in my life. A stands for Always and also represents myself, grounding the piece. T is for my sister and stands for Teach, a reminder of growth and guidance. K represents my other sister and stands for Kindness, something I try to lead with every day. And C is for my little brother, symbolizing Courage strength, resilience, and heart. Together, the message reads “Always Teach Kindness & Courage,” which feels like a quiet promise to myself and to the world. The inspiration for this concept came from Portgas D. Ace from One Piece, a character who carries a tattoo with letters symbolizing his family. That connection really stuck with me, and I loved the idea of translating that same sense of loyalty, love, and identity into my own design.

Instructions Visual Voice Inventory.  Create a collage or slide show of 8–10 pieces of your past creative work (photos, drawings, designs, etc.). Analyze them as a set: Write down the first words or feelings that come to mind for each piece, then look for patterns. Do certain adjectives repeat? Do you see a consistent color scheme or subject matter? Next, ask a friend or classmate to view the collection and describe what they  feel  is  your  voice or style. Compare it with your own impressions. This inventory will help you identify elements that already make your voice distinctive. Based on this, list three qualities you  want  to emphasize more in your voice (for example: “playful humor,” “bold contrast,” “compassion for outsiders”). This list becomes a conscious target for your future projects.  Content   Reflection   Time Made Visible. Mesmerizing, Temporal, Distorted    Rain  Moody, Dreamy, Quiet ...

Or to recreate an old project of mine. At first I wanted to try and redefine and recreate one of my old projects, but looking back I don't really have any impactful type of creations..... But that's no worry. The image you see is made after a mental awareness movement. Since Men's Mental Awareness month recently passed past I wanted to try and give it a go with an organiza...
