I think i just watched this film without blinking once. Tattoos are something that i respect, collect, are addicted to (at a modest pace) and i believe in the idea of them being important in the process to becoming who you are. Films such as this one, really give you a amazing view on how powerful this art form really is. They bring up the points of “who ownes the artwork” and “why is it still looked at like a underground thing, when its the most popular form of art in the world?”. Check it out its definitely not a waist of 45min!!!! Read More

Stumbled upon this dude’s work from my lovely lady, Kate. I was instantly drawn to this dude’s style. His style is loose and sketchy with heavy influences of pop culture and comic books. Bright colors mixed with subdued textures make his illustrations pop. He has a blog here and his site is located here.
