Description

An Enormous Piece of Set Dressing from "The Expendables." Lionsgate, 2010. On foamcore mounted to a wooden backing, depicting gold-colored eyes; used as set dressing in "Tool's" [Mickey Rourke] tattoo shop where it can be seen to the lower right of the 'Cheyenne' door (see previous lot). Interestingly, this image was designed by Ohio-based tattoo artist, Kore Flatmo, and it is similar to the actual tattoo that Flatmo inked on Stallone's left bicep.
40" x 109"

"This image was created by the world-famous tattoo artist, Kore Flatmo, and we used it as set dressing in Mickey Rourke's, or Tool's, tattoo parlor. Flatmo also designed the skull and raven logo that I used throughout The Expendables. He and I based it on my love and affection for Edgar Allen Poe."
