tattoo man in a bathing suit
Old style bathing suit. I believe these suits were knitted of wool. Now that makes ya think!
I have really been enjoying doing the man faces. I never felt confident drawing mens faces until I started doing all these guys. I would try to draw a man but usually I thought the faces looked feminine. But, practice, practice! I get better!
I put 2 more (different) photos of this doll in my Flickr photostream.
Today is the last day to enter the 2nd Annual Softie Awards. I entered this year- I had to. They had a category for Embroidery!

Mercy…this swimsuit feller is just tremendous. I never found these suits attractive before, but of all your tattooed men, he’s the one for me. Excellent work (and a lovely mustache)!

Yes, he truly is magnificent in the striped bathing suit! You must take him to the beach and have a proper photo shoot!
Great work!

OMG! Mimi, this is so brilliant!

Oh he’s completely fantastic! I’m transported to the circus and thoughts of lion tamers and elephants. All of his details are spot-on. Love his stripey suit. Really, he’s just wonderful. Perfect. He’s my favourite thus far.

This one is my favourite, too, Mimi. If you get into circus stuff you might have to contemplate one of these:

Not really novel or freakish these days, I guess!

Yesterday, a man that looked just like this guy walked up to my front door. He had on shorts and a tank top. I immediately thought of you.
He came by to get his 15-year-old nephew who was visiting here.
I wanted to say something to him, but “I know a woman that makes dolls that look like you,” did not seem appropriate.
