Homeward Bound: The Life and Times of Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry

This beautifully bound volume explores the life, times and artistic legacy of the father of the old-school tattoo, Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins.

The book contains anecdotes illustrated with ephemera and essays collected during the making of the film - complete with previously unseen photographs that include rare images of Collins and military life in the mid-20th century Hawaii. Published in 2011, 128 pages, 12 x 12. Hardbound in slip cover. Black and white and color.
