i have a variety of obsessive projects (located in the PRINTS section of this web page)... one was started as a result of my search for my knuckle tattoos. since then i have continued to collect images of new 8 letter word combinations.
i personally enjoy this one because of the conflicting message of "never-out" when it is obviously "out"... i don't know, i think that is pretty ironic and funny.
i currently have a list of over 400 combinations.
when it came to my own tattoos, i ended up with TOMATOES on my upper knuckles. this was a combination of TOMA on my right hand which translates to "take" in spanish and since i have turned out to be right handed i tend to take mostly with my right hand... then there is TOES on my left hand... which i just simply find to be pretty funny... but in all seriousness - it is that i relate to the tomatoes struggle to be validated in its identity as a whole... is it a fruit or a vegetable? am i a boy or a girl? i mean really why can't we be both? everything? what is the big deal? and who cares? i can fully accept the tomato as a fruit and a vegetable... and i hope that someday the world will be able to accept me and the full spectrum of my identity.
love, dylan
