Here is a artist whos stuff I have been liking (just at this moment actually)

Taylor Cort

Only 24 years old but has a buckets worth of talent. There is a strong heavy metal vibe in his work. People who are fans of album sleeves from bands like Iron Maiden will totally like his style. Also its totally cool to see him do custom stuff (dragons etc) that you mostly see other artist just reproduce from paintings that people like Vallejo do. Thats a nice little edge that he has. And they actually look good, unlike some of the "fantasy" stuff that you see. Hes is more painterly and not so much the flash art type stuff that you see from the 90´s. If I would be thinking of custom fantasy stuff (not totally my thing, but you never know), he would be high on that list. And then he can do also that painterly Neo-Traditional stuff (The bastartized version of sailor tattoos etc). And of course horror stuff. (Lost Boys=fuck yeah!)

You can catch him in Liquid Dragon Tattoo, Asheville, North Carolina US

There are great artists in the state that you are in.

Dave Fox www.evilballs.com for is one of the best in cartoony New-School japanese in the world. Creepy and highly innovative! He tattoos in www.oldecitytattoo.com You cant go wrong with others from that shop either.

Brian Murphy does good painterly stuff

Hope it helps :)

English Jonny has again been productive. He just told that he has arrived Florida for the annual Screamfest, where he will be tattooing. I think he has one open slot if someone is thinking about a tattoo. Here are some of his recent ones.


He told that with this one he tried a little different colors to make it in to its own beast.

And if anyone has tattoo question´s, I will be clad to help out.

I fucking love this,i have wanted a neat skull for so long.Did you say your wife designed this?

yup, but the tattoo artists took her rather intricate design and made it a bit more tattoo flash-style. I really love the end result.

I can't wait to get my next tattoo. I have a comic book artist designing portraits of Poe and Lovecraft for me

and after that I'm getting Ghastly Graham's versions of The Crypt Keeper, The Vault Keeper and The Old Witch from EC Comic's Haunt of Fear

Won't all those tattoos limit your opportunities as an actor?

his acting might be doing that already :p

truer words have not yet been spoken

I've held off on tattoos for a long time thinking they might limit me as an actor. But it's not like people are breaking down the door. If I had been true to my desires, I would have full sleaves by now.

And I'm getting old. No use waiting around. And who knows, maybe I'll get typecast as "tattoo guy" and finally get some work!

just fucking with you .. i could never act.


i always wanted to be a romero zombie ... untill i was on set with a bunch of romero zombies .. and quickly realized i could never do that.

i'd be laughing my ass off ruining every take until my ass got booted off.
