Thank you so much babs for your trust and dedication! Loved making this backpiece inspired by Acadian folktales of the lougarou.
A friend recently told me a tale that if you miss Easter mass 4 years in a row you become one. So I’m long over due.

Créer un seuil et un lieu de rencontre entre le monde des vivants et celui des ancêtres. Ces œuvres s'inspirent de l'existence et de l'interaction entre ces deux mondes, un paradoxe que j'essaie d'explorer. Pat Joy est un artiste et tatoueur originaire de Moncton (N.-B.). Il travaille avec divers supports créatifs, tels que la gravure, le collage, l'encre et la peinture.

Form a threshold and meeting place for the living and ancestral. These works are inspired by being and interacting between these two worlds, a paradox I am trying to navigate. Pat Joy is an artist and tattooist from Moncton (NB). He works with various creative mediums, such as printmaking, collage, ink, and painting. by @patjoytattoo
