Description100 DRAGONS BY FILIP LEUThe book is organized in dual-page spreads: on one side, the complete colour drawing; on the facing page, its linear translation. These aren’t simplified sketches—they’re exercises in pure synthesis, where the line becomes the absolute tool of tattoo design. Movement, rhythm, and volume remain intact; only the superfluous disappears, revealing the pure structure of tattoo design.This third Dragons volume completes the trilogy that began with Dragons Vol. 1 and Dragons Vol. 2, both published by Tattoo Life and quickly established as essential references. While the first books celebrated the complexity and power of dragon imagery, this final chapter reveals the internal mechanism—showing how a complete illustration becomes a clean design, ready for the skin.Created for tattoo artists, illustrators, and collectors alike, 100 Dragons by Filip Leu is also for anyone who wants to understand how a great tattoo is created—from color to line. It’s simultaneously an archive, a study tool, and the work of a master who continues to profoundly influence the language of contemporary tattooing.FILIP LEU. THE BOOKWe can say that Filip Leu’s life, tattooing, and art have flowed along at the same pace over the forty-year tattooist’ career that’s covered in this volume: one aspect influences another, thus revealing the reflection of a major personality.This book is a catalogue raisonné of the art of the great master: it is organized chronologically, following his brilliant creativity for decades. The three threads of life-tattoo-art weave together throughout the four decades covered in the volume: 2020-2010 / 2010-2000 / 2000-1990 / 1990-birth. It aims to build tattoo culture and awareness, but most of all to serve as a study compendium for any tattooist who truly wants to see, understand and study contemporary tattooing from the technical standpoint, through one of its greatest artists.
