American tattoo master Sailor Jerry Collins of Hawaii is best known
for his remarkable tattoo designs, blending the fluidity of Asian
motifs into classic American tattoo imagery. Until now, most of
Sailor Jerrys work has been controlled by a handful of collectors,
seen only at museum or art gallery exhibitions or in short-run,
self-published books. Here is a sizeable portion of Sailor Jerrys
stencils, the newest tattoo collectible, spanning his tattoo
career, from the 1940s to the early 1970s. The basic line work of
hundreds of his staple and surprisingly beautiful designspin-ups,
roses, bluebirds, hearts, and banners, and Jerrys infamous
military/political cartoons. The stencils themselves were handcut
in celluloid, vinyl or acetate sheets by the master himself for use
during his day-to-day thriving tattoo trade in downtown Honolulu.
They are, in the best sense, permanent tattoos carved in plastic,
enduring through time. In their original condition, most carry
residual charcoal dust from their last use. All are signed by Jerry
with one of his several distinctive signatures. This is the only
book of its kinda workbook for artists, and a design catalog for
folk art historians. The value of the stencils is included, along
with descriptions of stencils and their usage and a glossary of
tattoo terminology.
