The Fingerwave Book 2, curated by Grime and Craig Toth, follows their first volume with an even larger collection of fingerwaves - the stylized water forms that came out of Japanese woodblock prints and became a core element of Japanese tattooing.
Across 284 pages in a heavy 11" x 14" hardcover, contributors from across the tattoo world show their own take on waves in black-and-white illustration, including Horitomo (Kazuaki Kitamura), Ed Hardy, Koji Ichimaru, Jack Rudy, Filip Leu, Jondix and many more. Seeing so many approaches to the same element side by side is what makes the book valuable: curl, spray, rhythm and how waves meet a main subject all vary from artist to artist.
A practical Japanese tattoo book for anyone working on background and water in large-scale pieces, and a strong addition for collectors who own the first Fingerwave Book.
