A little bit of a change today — and only slightly off topic, but cool nonetheless. This is a tattoo of Atomic Robo, the main character of a great new comic series from Red 5 Comics (I say new, but it’s been out for a year, so not really). He’s a bad-guy fighting, wisecracking robot who has been seen behind the stick of a few WWII planes in the series… so if you don’t know of Robo, take a look at their site here.
Friend and fellow college alum Scott Wegener does the art and inking for the comic and is damn cool mofo in my book. He was a flight instructor for quite some time before making the switch to art — and based on his success and talent, he made the right choice!
So that’s what keeps us on topic right?
The tattoo below — perhaps the first Atomic Robo tattoo — was created by Stretch at Stretch Tattoos in East Hartford, CT.
And yes, I am a fan of the series as well, wearing my Atomic Robo t-shirt and staring at the five first run issue number ones on my shelf!
