"Tattooists Outside Of Tattooing"

"Why Some Tattoo Artists Like To Work 
In Alternate Artistic Media"

  Tattooing has attracted artists of all different backgrounds into  
applying their own unique visions on skin.  Many of these artists  
also still work regularly on canvas and in other media, bringing back  
into these art forms the powerful language and sensibilities that  
they learned in tattooing.

 

In this 1-hour *FREE* seminar, Guy  
Aitchison shares his work and that of other contemporary tattooists  
to show the parallels between their tattooing and their other art,  
and highlights what can be learned by working in multiple artistic  
media.  For both artists and art fans.
