"Dragon" comes out of "Future Past," James Acrow's solo exhibition at Fingerprint Gallery, where comics, vintage arcade aesthetics, graffiti, and tattoo culture share the same air. The dragon is one of the great recurring characters of that lineage — a creature drawn a thousand times on biceps, sketchbook covers, and arcade side art — and Acrow gives it the bold-line confidence and saturated colour that only comes from decades behind a tattoo machine and a spray can.
This is the original artwork that became the side art for the Dragon Cocktail Custom Arcade, now available as a standalone painting. A working Vancouver artist with deep roots in the city's hip hop and graffiti scene, Acrow signs every piece. One of one. Available now at Fingerprint Gallery.
