Are we a sloppy, flabby couple making out in the corner? Does my scabby Exema really look like scales are consuming my legs? Damn, that guy from the last night looks strangely similar to fish-boy, limp.

Yay Tattoos and Screw You!
When Janis Joplin had Lyle Tuttle tattoo a heart on her breast and a design on her wrist, the country woke up and accepted tattoos as an art form. It’s been thirty some years and there are still people who think of it as a lesser craft.
For the Love of Pinstripes
In the early days of pinstriping names like Von Dutch and Ed Roth were household, and the lines on your car made you unique more so than the car itself.

Steve Seeley
It’s interesting how you can review an artist’s work and be so completely wrong about their motives. Beware: the following is an opinion I formed all on my own.

Metal Urges
Caution: This editorial is not our usual creative review, but may still inspire feelings of freedom, carelessness, and crummy funding.
Jill Zevenbergen
…as if she took what she saw daily and reflected it into an alternate reality where the buildings were splattered in day-glo paint, graffiti gardens sprouted from the pavement, blank billboards were more art than obstruction…

Brainless Tales
Marcus hand draws the comics everyday, then scans them in and edits them in Photoshop. I think the key to Marcus, is that he realizes that not every post has to be a brainchild.

Rebecca Dortzbach is a good example of an artist who is finding, perfecting, a style and technique that works for her while expanding her knowledge of available materials.
Atlanta Goodies
Prison style tattoos no longer fly when each major city has its own brand of artists, parlors and vibes. Customers are seeking the best of the best – whether it means a road trip or a plane flight.
Beads for Boobs (and Pennies)
Though select few cities other then New Orleans partake in annual Mardi Gras festivities, we thought it was nonetheless appropriate to share a trailer for the movie that made headlines, and killed the spirit of some party revelers.

Good Things Out of Philly
The home of Poe had me curious about its nooks and crannies, it’s streets grimy and it’s artist’s edgy. So what if it’s been named in the top ten Most Dangerous Cities in the US, no one said living for inspiration was going to be easy.

Amanda Wachob’s Other Canvas
Most residents of Buffalo are already familiar with Amanda Wachob as it relates to her experimental style of tattooing. But how many can really say that they are familiar with her style of painting, the subjects that she plays off of and the sheer amount of traveling she does to promote her work?

Thomas Stender: We’ve Got Wood!
I believe Thomas Stender to be one of those people that do not need other people, but need the element of creation to survive. He designs provocative and humorous furniture that also functions on a level of comfort and personal aesthetic. Each piece is formed out of the way the wood itself is dimensioned.
Hertel’s OddBall
