Kokeshi dolls and peonies.
By Jeff Gogue - Jeff Gogue Art
Symbolic of her four daughters, I did four Kokeshi dolls referenced from some wooden dolls I brought back from my trips to Japan. They are placed here among some Alphonse Mucha peonies which match the ones I did on her chest a couple years ago. Starting with a sleeve, onto a back piece that extends down her leg to her foot, then across and now traveling up her other leg with the dolls and peonies, we hope to resolve the work on her front and eventually tie it into her chest piece and another sleeve. My intention is to have the story meander throughout the different subjects and supporting elements to tell of the many facets of my client's personality and life.

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.
