False Fronts
By Nick Baxter - Nick Baxter
The outer portion of Sierra's half sleeve representing the idea of 'nothing is how it first seems.' I chose a more abstract way of representing this theme, opting for a very smooth and graceful looking biomech-esque environment that in some spots reveals a rotting, bloody interior. The bubbly negative space patterns help illustrate the happy, pristine falsehood, as well as lend a bit of a feminine feel to the normally severe and masculine 'biomech' influenced subject matter. I also took advantage of Sierra's very pale skin to experiment with an idea I had for a monochromatic light fleshtone palette.

Three days of becoming a better artists, tattooers, and people! The Rock River Tattoo Art Expo will combine aspects of artist-focused professional development events with the style of a larger tattoo convention, open to the public. The two convention floors will be filled with artist and vendor booths, with the artists showcasing not only tattooing but work in other mediums as well. Some booths will feature live painting alongside the tattoo booths. There will be additional vendor booths in some of the hallways and auxiliary spaces along with a museum exhibit showcasing some important tattoo artifacts including some of local significance. Throughout the weekend there will be activity on the main stage including interviews, talks by high-profile speakers, a historical discussion, tattoo art critiques, and a daily showcase of work that was completed on the convention floor.
