"Smoke and Bone"

A bold, graphic meditation on mortality and indulgence, Smoke and Bone features a skeletal hand clutching a lit cigar, its glowing embers curling into wisps of teal and white smoke. The bones are rendered with stark contrast and metallic edge, outlined in black and shaded with ghostly whites and grays. A teal aura surrounds the hand, suggesting both decay and defiance. Set against a textured, rust-red backdrop with a black border, the piece evokes themes of rebellion, transience, and dark humor. The signature “ROACH 25” anchors the work in streetwise identity, hinting at underground culture and personal legacy.

"Rose Smoke"

A vibrant fusion of traditional tattoo iconography and symbolic storytelling, Rose Smoke captures a moment of elegance and edge. A delicately manicured hand, adorned with red nails and an ornate cuff of red, green, and gold, holds a lit cigar as smoke curls upward in soft, hypnotic waves. A swallow glides across the hand, evoking freedom and motion, while a blooming red rose near the wrist anchors the piece in themes of beauty and transience. Set against a parchment-toned background, the artwork radiates timeless rebellion and ritualistic calm. Signed “JASO 25,” it pays homage to classic Americana tattoo styles with a modern twist.

"Planet in Flames"

A searing visual metaphor for global crisis, Planet in Flames reimagines Earth as a painted dumpster engulfed in fire. The continents are rendered on the dumpster’s exterior, suggesting that the planet itself has been discarded and set ablaze. Above the inferno, a full moon hangs in a surreal night sky, surrounded by scattered stars and drifting clouds — a quiet witness to chaos below. The scorched ground and purple frame intensify the contrast between destruction and cosmic stillness. With no text to anchor it, the image speaks through symbolism alone, evoking themes of environmental collapse, societal upheaval, and the haunting beauty of catastrophe.
