ZAM V3 (OS MAIN) 721

This piece was originally created as a possibility for my genesis release, after I was accepted to Known Origin.  
 I ended up putting it aside, then made other things which I also didnt use; I finally settled on a completely new series of Marilyns, the Morph collection, for my debut. 
Pop, trash and rock with Gothic touches thrown in, this one is a tribute more to contemporary Rockabilly culture than anything to do with Marilyn Monroes life per se. 
She becomes a cipher for the reinvented 1950s aesthetics of greasers, wharfies, drapes and milk bar cowboys on steroids. 
The Marilyn Tattoo series, which was originally released in 8 colourways on OpenSea, is certainly nice to look at but a somewhat nebulous concept compared to the Marilyn Morph collection, which was clear in its implications of physical and mental transformation. 
I revisited the series late last year after being featured on KnownOrigins front page, releasing a cotton candy colourway. 
This dark blue hyper-tattooed, nautical inspired version will likely be the final version in the series.
