Description
Description
Brooklyn Joe Lieber was a mentor for Sailor Jerry Collins, and understanding Lieber's work is essential to understanding the evolution of American traditional tattooing. Though born in Brooklyn, Lieber moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and spent most of his career developing the powerful drawing and painting style he would share with Collins. The hundreds of designs they originated and traded formed the foundation of what would become the American traditional canon. This book brings Lieber's influential work out of Sailor Jerry's shadow, giving proper recognition to a master whose brilliance deserves equal standing in tattoo history.
