Picture Machine: Travel Flash Book Vol. 1 puts 150 pages of Pat "Picture Machine" Martynuik's flash into a compact 6" x 8" hardcover. It is built to be carried - in a kit bag, on a guest spot, or kept at the station as a quick reference when a walk-in wants something classic.
Martynuik came to San Francisco in 1970 to work with Lyle Tuttle and became a central figure of the city's street-shop era. His strength was turning almost any subject into a bold, legible tattoo, and his designs were copied, traded and tattooed far beyond the Bay. That influence on the look of American traditional tattooing is carried on today by the Martynuik family.
For working tattooers, this traditional tattoo flash book is a practical source of tried-and-true designs. For collectors, it is an entry point to the Picture Machine body of work alongside the larger Martynuik Family Collection.
