Greetings from Hyperspace!
Coming up in just a few weeks, Guy and Michele will be visiting the Old School Tattoo Expo in St. Louis, Missouri which runs from November 13-15. Organized by Bill DeMichelle of Tattoos.com and the legendary Lyle Tuttle, the Old School Tattoo Expo is one of the top tattoo events of the Fall season and features topnotch artists from around the world. On Saturday the 14th at 11:00am, Guy will be holding a free 1-hour seminar for professional tattooists only. The seminar is intended to showcase Guy's latest educational book, Reinventing The Tattoo, and will run through a brief explanation of the basic design and technique points that this massive book and DVD cover. The seminar will also include a Q&A session for artists wanting to know more about educating themselves and keeping up with the cutting edge of what the tattoo industry has to offer. For more information about the convention, go to their site at www.oldschooltattooexpo.com.
Also this month, Tattoo Flash Magazine has released its 2009 Annual Special Edition issue, and it highlights two of Michele Wortman's clients, Mindy and Nicole, who wear some of her most epic work. It's a great layout and includes several inserts and special features; if you enjoy Michele's work, it's worth checking out, and should be on the newsstands for another week or so.
In addition, Michele's photography is being currently featured at MacLife, an Apple Computer enthusiast magazine and online publication. For fans of Michele's unique photographic work, this article highlights some of the thought and technique that goes into her powerful abstract realist work.
Finally, this month Guy has a new art piece available through a raffle being held by the Durham Symphony. The piece in question is a painted violin; it's an undersized children's violin that has been transformed by Guy into an alien organic thing. Raffle tickets are only $5 each, and offer a chance to win this one-of-a-kind piece of artwork. Proceeds from ticket sales go to the Durham Symphony; you can get more details at the Durham Symphony website.
Thanks, and we'll be in touch soon-
Guy & Michele
