A Sailors Grave

I entered this design into a local competition in Portsmouth. the brief was to create something that represented the city. I wanted to capture the old side of Portsmouth, including the dock yards, cobbled streets and classic seaside pubs. I decided to incorporate the long forgotten light house. This relic sits idly between the old fort and Clarence peer. My style was at the time heavily influenced by tattoos. This worked really well as Portsmouth's naval history is rife with tattooed sailors.
