High as a Kite: A Guide to Marijuana, put together by Danny G, is a 132-page hardcover devoted entirely to cannabis in tattoo art. It pulls together contemporary and vintage tattoo flash, photography, memorabilia and illustrations from more than 80 artists, making it one of the largest collections on the subject.
The range runs from 1970s flash, such as Mark Renold's skull-and-wings biker design and a cannabis plant growing through a peace sign, to modern sheets by artists like Matt Houston and Josh Davis, with smoking ladies, crying eyes, skulls, sacred hearts and a spider rolling a joint. It's a fun look at how one theme has been handled across generations of tattooers.
For tattooers it's a ready source of themed flash for clients who want a leaf in their piece; for collectors it's an entertaining slice of tattoo culture.

High as a Kite: A Guide to Psychedelics is a 136-page hardcover put together by Danny G, gathering psychedelic work from more than 60 artists around the world. It mixes contemporary art and color flash with vintage flash, photography and illustration, making it one of the largest collections of psychedelic imagery aimed at tattooers.
Inside you will find mushrooms and ladies, dragons, tigers, panthers, dogs, skulls, frogs and cartoon characters, all pushed through a trippy, saturated color palette. Seeing old flash next to new work shows how long this imagery has been part of tattooing and how differently artists handle it today.
