The Comeback Machine
By Nick Baxter - Nick Baxter
Cam's vision for his sleeve was a "comeback machine" powered by a golden battery cell, symbolizing the inner strength and lifeforce which has brought him back from despair and destruction so many times. I interpreted this machine as a thick mass of old mechanical parts formed from the flowing, organic shapes of human anatomy--the body and time symbolized as one. Chipped, corroded, weathered and seemingly collapsing in on itself, it endures with its eternal energy source.

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.
