LIMITED EDITION
Picture Machine: The Martynuik Family Collection is the most complete book ever assembled on Pat "Picture Machine" Martynuik. The limited-edition, 518-page casebound hardcover pulls together rare family photographs, acetates, hand-painted flash and more than 300 production sheets.
Martynuik came to San Francisco in 1970 to work alongside Lyle Tuttle and became a fixture of the city's classic street-shop era. He had a knack for turning any request into a bold, readable tattoo, and the sheer volume of production flash here shows how that worked day to day - designs drawn, refined and reissued for a busy walk-in trade.
For tattoo artists who love street-shop tattoo flash, it is a definitive reference with years of material to draw from. For collectors of tattoo history, it is a centerpiece volume. For a portable selection, see Picture Machine: Travel Flash Book Vol. 1.
