A little on the painting,
The title of the story comes from the especially painful trick that the rabbit played. While the tanuki was carrying a heavy load of kindling on his back to make a campfire for the night, he was so burdened that he did not immediately notice when the rabbit set fire to the kindling. Soon, the crackling sound reached its ears and it asked the rabbit what the sound was. “It is Kachi-Kachi Yama” the rabbit replied. “We are not far from it, so it is no surprise that you can hear it!”. Eventually, the fire reached the tanuki’s back, burning it badly, but without killing it.
Next stop the Bakeneko!
Monday Madness week 10!
It’s a bit of a mixed bag of love and tits this week. Message me if you want something, i’m getting lax on my original concept rules and will quite happily take a booking. Small ones 2500, bigger pieces by arrangement. Only at SwahiliBobsTattoo, Bondegatan 16 Stockholm, Sweden.
I painted a little devil, for a big party!
Swahili Bob’s Tattoo Fest.
Det var ju ett tag sedan vi bjöd på fest, och sedan dess har det hänt en hel del som är värt att fira. Studion har dessutom nyligen bytt ägare och ägs numera av Calm. Bara det i sig är värt en fest, så here we go!
Vi kommer på dagen tatuera flash till förmånliga priser och dessutom bjuda på dricka och kanske en sprucken korv. Klockan 15:00 kommer dessutom Calm hit och piercar. Reidar Assine spelar musik och håller låda.
Klockan 20 drar vi till Pussy A-Go-Go i The Liffeys källare i gamla stan och bränner hjärnceller.
På scen:
-Twopointeight
-Tysta Mari
-Red Doves
-Reidar Assine och KvarteretKom i tid för det är först till kvarn, inget förköp! Inträde 100 spänn, gratis om man har Swahili loggan tatuerad.
“It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in such
an inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, their
absolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lack
of style. They affect us just as vulgarity affects us. They give us
an impression of sheer brute force, and we revolt against that.
Sometimes, however, a tragedy that possesses artistic elements of
beauty crosses our lives. If these elements of beauty are real, the
whole thing simply appeals to our sense of dramatic effect. Suddenly
we find that we are no longer the actors, but the spectators of the
play. Or rather we are both. We watch ourselves, and the mere wonder
of the spectacle enthralls us.”
“Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain. For we’ve received orders for to sail back to Boston. And so never more shall we see you again.”
