"...black really is better"

     I found a nice little quote about Guy Le Tatooer's work in a book called "Forever: The New Tattoo":


     "I worked a long time in colo[u]r, but after some time I think black really is better", says Tatooer. Everything is distilled, simplified, but at the same time complicated by studied explorations of iconography and symbol. Progression comes in mastery of the medium. The effect is a move toward timelessness. (Schonberger, 2012)

     I think it sums up quite well why I'm not exactly keen to introduce colours into my own work "...Progression comes in mastery of the medium."
