Quokka- boat tattooing

Yes, that’s right folks- boat tattooing. A new advertiser in the Quokka is painting tattoo designs on boats. This has got to be the weirdest request for a cover I ever received.

I tried to make up some sort of tribal-inspired anchor. Bit random, but a huge flaming skull probably wouldn’t have gone down too well.

  1. Giant flaming skull!!! Giant flaming skull!!!

    Or possibly, a boat tramp stamp?

    Or a giant heart with “Mother” written inside?

    Or… Mebbe I should go have a lie down, hee hee.
