John Carter (2012) –
This was one of my absolute favorite projects to date. I joined Tinsley Studios in the creation of some special effects tattoo designs using Adobe Photoshop. After seeing the movie and our designs on the big screen, I was more than satisfied with the final results. All work shown here is property of Tinsley Studios: http://tinsleystudio.com
