Felipe Jesus Consalvos

Felipe Jesus Consalvos (1891-196?) was an amazing collage artist/cigar roller. His unbelievably detailed art is truly remarkable:

As a result, about a year and half ago i got one of his pieces tattooed on my arm (as seen on Dr. Dog's, We All Belong album). Unfortunately, I'm not one to post my tattoo's on the world wide web, but you can ask to see it in person anytime.
