Jonathan wanted a sleeve featuring some classic Texas rough and tough wildlife and nature, so we settled on a barn owl, deer skull, rattlesnake, giant centipede, and some mesquite trees. I went with a limited palette of subdued color to help create a dusky nightfall vibe. With this project complete, Jonathan now has a pair of sleeves by me. You can see his other arm featuring a mermaid elsewhere in my tattoo gallery.
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.
