Octobear
By Jesse Smith - Loose Screw Tattoo
Richard was one of first scientists to work on Carkayous . He was fresh out of college and had been offered this job from an unknown company that lured him in with a hefty sign-on bonus and the promise of a tropical work location. When he initially arrived it seemed like a dream come true. The beaches were untouched by humanity, the jungles were pristine, and the abundance of abstract wild life was like nothing he had ever seen before. It wasn't until a couple of months in that he realized what it was that this company was trying to do. He eventually devised a plan of escape but it came at a cost.
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.
