NY Ink

Main Title
Client: TLC
Studio: Joyride

Working in concert with the tattoo artists, we created custom graffiti art for each of the cast members that both reflect their personality and link them to the gritty, ink-stained streets of New York City. We directed, designed and edited the show open to follow Ami, the boss, as he returns to the city, collects his crew and leads them to the stoop of his shop. While this project wasn’t always easy, at least we didn’t have to adapt our designs for an elbow or a knee.
