At least they are only 200 odd miles from me, which is better than a thousand :D Thanks! |
You both are welcome :)

Nothing to do at work, so more groove artists :)
Nick Baxter www.nickbaxter.com One of the most sought after artists at the moment. I would describe him as a individul folk artist. His views challenge and courage people to make there own history, there own folk history individually. The label is a combination of his high end custom stuff and his sometimes HC political views, which include anarchism and vegetarianism, and the side that wishes for a different, better, future for all of us. And hopes that we dont accept the norms. Boris hwww.boristattoo.zalaszam.hu Boris is one of the most respected artists out there. Crazy, deep and ultra painterly fantasy and horror surrealism and everything in between. Were european aura in them. Old castles and doom. Cory Kruger www.krugertattoos.com His tattoos his a deep and rich God like aura in them. And also similar to the more realistic superman cartoons (edit. Alex Ross) that are majestic and full of color. S. Victor Whitmill www.paradoxstudios.com Morbid and very dark style. H.R Giger comes to mind and also has a fetish aspect to it. Bit of cyberpunk also thrown in. Grotex version of the Matrix mixed with Edgar Allan Poe. DJ Minor www.kantreed.com Zombies and dead girls Timmi Mensah www.timmimensah.com Graffiti styled creepy stuff. |
Heres a new one that English Jonny pulled out of his hat. Took aprx. 3 hours! And considering the size, quality and color it has...WOW. And the customer didnt even pay anywhere near an(sp?) arm and leg for it. Heres the Cheshire Cat

Really good news for the people in Houston, Texas. World class artist Nate Beavers, with his friend Jason Ramirez, have opened a new shop (it has been open for a better part of a month) I-45 Ink in 9305 Gulf Frwy.
www.myspace.com/i45ink I just interviewed Nate about his new shop and it has a great list of artists working in there and quest spots that will bring big names to the shop, are coming too. Nate himself just won the best of the day (In saturday) at Hell City Tattoo fest this past weekend. And considering that its PACKED with the best in the world, thatīs not a small feat. Here is the tattoo. http://a919.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...4dd1bcf1ee.jpg Then there is Rick Clark who also enjoys doing portraits and animals (as does Nate), but if you are thinking in terms of horror tattoos, he (along side with Nate) can rock the heaven out of them! Heres a tattoo that Rick has done. http://a716.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...365096e7b3.jpg Then there is the smooth B&G stuff from Jason Ramirez http://a978.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...0ddd1618e9.jpg Omar http://a390.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...111d3cb16d.jpg and George with his Cholo inspired stuff http://a36.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/...3ee9e7a13b.jpg And then there is also Buck who deos crazy color stuff. But hes example pic will be in another post, because this one allready has 5 pics. All and all the guys at I-45 Ink are talented and really easy to get along. And they will make shure that every last one of clients that they have, will feel like they are welcome to come in, and are treated with respect and enthusiasm towards there tattoo. So if you are in that area, be shure to check them out. I will post the link to a interview that I did with Nate later on when its up on tattooNOW. |

Good olīJonny has whipped out two more tattoos. Other one is a in progress backpiece thats all custom work. Good cartoon vibe going on in it.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n/backbang.jpg Then other one is a dead zombie girl that is bright as HELL! And you can see Jonnys own little background touch in it, which he has used in couple of tattoos. Finding hes own voice little by little. Exiting. And I have no idea from where this cutey pie is from? Anybody? Heres the tat. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v179/lokiean/kid.jpg Blackball Tattoo in 3126 N. Jefferson Ave. Midland MI.

Jonny has a great offer for people who are serious about tattoos. Here is what he says
OK. so i want to do a full back to add to my portfolio. Ive never done one. And im only going to offer it once. I wanna do a full back fantasy or horror at 40% off. Just to do the damn thing. Yeah i know 40% IS KINDA NUTS. But whoever ends up with it will only be coming in ever month or two for a session. So im not really putting myself out there much. If anyones interested message me. I plan on doing it in 6 hour sessions. I wanna do full color with negative shading. Something big and fancy. *shrug* This is not unsual if people are thinking that. Many artists offer great dealīs when they want to build up there portfolio, or just try out new things. Joshua Carlton (www.joshuacarlton.com) infact just had a competition for a free tat, because he wanted to explore more color realism, so he just said that the person with the best idea gets it free. So if you are thinking of a back piece, send Jonny a message. 40% off is a lot :) Blackball Tattoo in 3126 N. Jefferson Ave. • Midland MI. (989) 835-6672 www.myspace.com/lokiean |
