Love, Death & Fortune: The Art of Paul Dobleman is a 200-page, 9" x 12" hardcover covering decades of work by one of contemporary traditional tattooing's most recognizable artists. The book is organized into three sections - love, death and fortune - following the themes that run through Dobleman's tattoos and paintings.
Inside you get a deep run of reference flash, photographs from his years on the road and in the shop, and a dedicated poster section at the back. The images show how Paul Dobleman handles classic traditional subjects - women, butterflies, eagles, death figures, flowers - with heavy, confident black and a clear sense of composition.
Tattoo artists will use it as a traditional tattoo flash book and source of design ideas; collectors get the most complete single volume on Dobleman's work.

Paul Dobleman - Lines and Drawings is a 144-page softcover of pure linework from one of the most respected names in American traditional tattooing. Hundreds of drawings are packed several to a page: women, flowers, butterflies, daggers, skulls, vessels, big cats, birds and religious subjects, each drawn again and again in different variations.
The layout recalls the dense stencil and outline sheets of older shops, which is exactly what makes it useful. Seeing a dozen takes on the same rose or panther side by side shows how Dobleman balances weight, flow and negative space, and gives you a starting point for building your own versions. His mix of elegant, flowing line and heavy black is easy to recognize.
Edited by Miki Vialetto, this is a working book of tattoo outlines and line drawings for professionals who still sketch on paper, and a portable record of Dobleman's drawing for collectors.
