Sailor Jerry Pinup Sketchbook Vol. 4 is back in print for the first time since the death of Mike Malone, who kept much of Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins' work in circulation after Collins' passing. This edition has a screen-printed cover and 40 spiral-bound pages of line drawings.
The focus is pinups: nudes and glamour girls drawn in the clean, confident outline style that made Sailor Jerry flash a cornerstone of American traditional tattooing. Seeing them as line drawings, without color, shows how he handled proportion, posing and line weight so a figure would read clearly on skin.
The spiral binding lets the book lie flat at a drawing table or tattoo station, which makes this tattoo sketchbook practical for tracing and redrawing. It belongs in any shop that works traditional, and it is a nice piece for Sailor Jerry collectors who want the drawings behind the paintings.
