WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS
When Cristopher isn´t tattooing, he can usually be found painting. His passion is large watercolor pieces, usually featuring animals, nature and skeletons with an art nouveau and neo traditional influence. All his paintings are available to buy as Glicée prints on fine art paper (acid free and 100% cotton) and printed on an EPSON SureColor P8000, to give the look and feel of the original painting and provide a high level of quality, longevity and value compared to a standard print. Here is a small selection of some of his most popular paintings. You can see more here or buy a print here. Check out some of his 5 star Etsy print reviews below.
