thank you one and all. Here is the sad thing. When I was looking him up on the internet for reference, I ran across the site that detailed his suicide, note, the messiness of his backyard, where the bullet went in the wall. It all seems very intrusive, that a private, tragic event like suicide, the idea that you ended your own life, all the details, end up on some internet site. It made me very depressed.
But I do like my littel version of him. Thank you!

This is such a great take on the topic! I remember that little guy - I had no idea he committed suicide:< Fantasy Island was a pretty silly show, but I always found the Tattoo character amusing. This illo captures him well!

Fun, Kim! Who else but Lil' Tatoo?

Katili said...

A great illo, though this Tattoo is not quite so known in Finland.

Lori Witzel said...

Love this -- spot-on for capturing his slightly lounge-lizard feeling -- and the best part is he is GIGANTIC on this island, like he's become a Godzilla!

Rob Mackintosh said...

By have Tattoo visually bigger than the island, depicts how important his role was on the show.
Good clean rendering!

The Unknown said...

Yeah!
love

Maybe my own version of Herve Villechaize will cheer you up about his suicide. Check it out and happy 50th Birthday! Enjoy it!
