About

Greetings all, and thanks for taking the time to view my work. I've been an artist my whole life, something encouraged by my grandmother who was an avid painter. I've made my living professionally in the art of tattooing since the late 90s and have also dabbled into leather craft and carving. What I have done here with 1718 is taken a lot of my ideas, inspirations, and what not and converted them into wearable medium. Some of what you see here has originated as tattoo art and some was created directly for the sole purpose of making garments. You'll find categories based on things that inspire me, my Scandinavian heritage, fondness for the golden age of piracy (1718), patriotism, passion for motorsports or pre Disney Star Wars. Perhaps you like that sort of thing as well. What do I know I'm just some dork who draws pictures for a living.

Thanks,

Chuk Högnell
