Bill enjoyed creating this design! Customer asked for a design (cover up, see 2nd pic) to encompass the sports he has enjoyed over the years. Baseball, football, wrestling, and MMA. That was the only description given and Bill got to create it from that. He loves it when customers trust him enough to do that! (Banner filled it at a later time) #pearlcitytattoolounge #billkaufmann #coveruptattoo #sportstattoo #mmatattoo #footballhelmettattoo #sportsfan #iowatattooartist #downtownmuscatine

Bill added a lot of white to the cross to fix it, lighten it up and bring definition to the design. Then he got to add the additional work to finish off the half sleeve. #iowatattooartist #pearlcitytattoolounge #billkaufmann #tattoofixers #blackandgraytattoo #crosstattoo #muscatineiowa #downtownmuscatine
Bill got to design this meaningful tattoo for his customer. A few elements the customer want included: morel mushrooms, duck blind, his deer antlers, and his and his dads silhouettes. #pearlcitytattoolounge #iowatattooartist #huntingtattoo #deertattoo #antlertattoo #billkaufmann #downtownmuscatine #muscatineiowa #morelmushroomtattoo

Portfolio layout drawing from 1989. I had a brief job at Bluth Studios in Ireland and I learned some things in the layout department. When I got back to Chicago I put together 4 portfolios and sent them to Disney.

My first pan attempt in 1989. I’m feeling nostalgic. I guess that’s why I’m sharing😃 #billkaufmann #beecough #layout #conceptart #conceptsketch #conceptartist #drawing
It’s a little wonky but I remember how much of a challenge it was to do these pencil drawings/layouts because for the first time I did work from memory. 1989. #billkaufmann #beecough #layout #pencildrawing #concept #blackandwhite

Kung Fu Panda. I thought I’d share an idea I had during KFP. I thought what if Po and Tai Lung’s match took place in an alternate reality? When they’re walking or running their feet and hands make contact with the surroundings. There would be a light print of these that would fade moments after they touched a surface. #billkaufmann #beecough #visualdevelopment #conceptartist #concept #conceptart #dreamworks #dreamworksanimation #kungfupanda #po #tailung

We know it’s been awhile since we posted. Sorry. But this design was so much fun for Bill!! Each piece signifies a location this customer traveled to over the years with her parents. Each piece was uniquely designed based on her written description!!! ❤️❤️. Look closely the tiny airplane lines are actually Morse code for a hidden message and her parents handwriting is included in a few of the location names. Three long days in a row and one long day last week and she has herself a unique and personalized sleeve!! #muscatine #downtownmuscatine #pearlcitytattoolounge #billkaufmann #iowatattooartist #traveltattoo #travelling #tattoosleeve #blackandgraytattoo #uniquetattoos #creativetattoo #uniqueartwork

Dreamwork’s The Prince of Egypt. Death of the first born plague. The angel of death. Brenda Chapman, one of the directors, asked me to explore what The places should look like with concentration on texture, color and lighting. They liked my ideas and used the paintings.
