Tim's Sleeve Illustrates A Vision of Life on Earth

I met Tim back in April in Penn Station and took several pictures of his left arm, which is fully-sleeved. What follows is a presentation of the work, from top to bottom:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEV6iZ75q5xycACe2Vqft8y7TcS1zmTQPhMGHs46NL62h-Xy3ychdrEqnUYzI7i-c6L2dFngwAhIQLw0Jldbxj6p-hrbx32BhVJ_AokmVCDlffnCLVI7iwdtc0d_5luNtogfRm1QSK_J0/s1600/Angel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEV6iZ75q5xycACe2Vqft8y7TcS1zmTQPhMGHs46NL62h-Xy3ychdrEqnUYzI7i-c6L2dFngwAhIQLw0Jldbxj6p-hrbx32BhVJ_AokmVCDlffnCLVI7iwdtc0d_5luNtogfRm1QSK_J0/s640/Angel.jpg" width="324" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm8QLg7Iman-F4aU73bCS_6Cpyib5i3OKUTwQE20L10dos18kF4-LXnY8a1i3jAJGTc7CktqlQ27uCLbdVMFVG78mb3dlkvAer8MNE33f5xI1zCoFKSDiTpDjcDBr-BOatz9qgNCFWBfo/s1600/Purple+Skull.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm8QLg7Iman-F4aU73bCS_6Cpyib5i3OKUTwQE20L10dos18kF4-LXnY8a1i3jAJGTc7CktqlQ27uCLbdVMFVG78mb3dlkvAer8MNE33f5xI1zCoFKSDiTpDjcDBr-BOatz9qgNCFWBfo/s640/Purple+Skull.jpg" width="316" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgghQldL3819juHkt2KaByXFL1PA2wGwm-cINqiLAB5dZVyZYoazimCs4RfX0bwvSvAY8GqkvyJeBM7JCCbJ7eJozUE8uOvF5unSdZDd9UqWVNNyZ43o5F-DxhnbMathLvAMfknlbdtXq0/s1600/Boston+Burning+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgghQldL3819juHkt2KaByXFL1PA2wGwm-cINqiLAB5dZVyZYoazimCs4RfX0bwvSvAY8GqkvyJeBM7JCCbJ7eJozUE8uOvF5unSdZDd9UqWVNNyZ43o5F-DxhnbMathLvAMfknlbdtXq0/s400/Boston+Burning+Collage.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal">There's a lot going on here, but Tim summed the theme of the sleeve as "Hell is the world we're living in, and we're all trying to escape Death."

Yes, you read that right, nine-hour sessions! That's commitment!
