Hey all,
I just wanted to quickly make you aware of a couple of events coming up within the next couple of weeks.
Friday, October 14, 2016 (6-11PM)
The Reopening of the New Orleans Tattoo Studio and Museum (1915 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd)
When I first conceived my art-on-skin series, the only place I could think of in which I’d like it to be seen was the New Orleans Tattoo Studio and Museum. Over a year later and it will now be displayed in their gallery. Purchases of prints from this collection will go toward the completion of this project. My ideas are getting bigger and that requires a little funding. It’s a IRL Kickstarter!
Black Ink will be on display as well as a tattoo museum exhibit curated by Adam Montegut, Saigon Slim's food truck, music by The Wicked Son!
Saturday, October 22, 2016 (time TBD)
Jewels (905 Decatur Street)
I’ve been selling prints from this art shop for over a year but this will be the first time that I’ll be doing a public signing. Two new prints will be available for purchase and signing. Neither one have ever been released — online or otherwise. The size is a perfect 8.5x11.
This print, "Underworld" will be available at the signing on October 22, 2016 at Jewels.
So close that you can feel the sting and hear the buzz
I got in super close while shooting at the New Orleans Tattoo Museum. Click to view more.
A few months ago, I started working on a project in conjunction with The New Orleans Tattoo Museum in Central City. I'll share more news about that in a future post but I wanted to share what we've been doing so far. I've worked closely with proprietor and artist, Adam Monetegut, which has given me a much closer relationship to the art of tattooing than I've ever had. If you get a chance to go down there, check it out. It's a really cool space, especially if you're into the history and art of tattooing.
During my most recent shoot at the location, I got the chance to get in real close to see how it looks when the needle pecks at the skin. It's not easy to get great shots using a macro lens when you're that close and in a setting that I'm documenting but it's been a great and fun challenge. As you'll see below, we still have a long way to go before this project is complete.
Sign up for my mailing list below to get updates about this project as well as other information regarding other things I'm working on.
