REVIEW: GYPSY GENTLEMAN - EPISODE 1: NEW YORK

A new internet based tattoo/travel show that showcases "the world’s greatest tattooers and the world’s most fascinating places."  Kind of like a tattoo version of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations.

I really like this show.  The Cultured Hooligan approves of the Gentleman Gypsy.  Had to write that, sorry.

Check it, enjoy it, and donate so they can make more episodes.

TATTOO AGE

A new tattoo documentary series featuring a series of interviews/profiles of what they're calling "the most interesting and sought-after [tattoo] artists in the world."  It debuts July 13, 2011 on VBS.TV with a profile of a buddy of mine, Dan Santoro.  Although I don't have any tattoos by Dan (yet?), he's a legit artist of all sorts (needle, spray paint, acrylics, etc.) and it's good to see him getting recognized for his talents.  If you like what you see, book an appointment with him at Smith Street Tattoo at (718) 643-0463.  You won't be disappointed. 




 

From the official page:  
Tattoo Age is the new series that takes an inside look at the craft of tattooing through a series of profiles on some of the most interesting and sought-after artists in the world. The series kicks off on July 13th with Dan Santoro, and new episodes featuring such artists as Troy Denning, Mike Rubendall, Freddy Corbin, and Grime will air through November.

ARTIST PROFILE: KINGZILLA (MATTY KING)

KINGZILLA is one of my favorite artists (and people) living today.  His style is unlike any other I've seen.  Old school cut-and-paste to a level of brilliance.  He takes images we see everyday, co-opts them and then morphs them into something new that invokes feelings of anxiety, happiness, depression, beauty, anger...sometimes all at the same time.  Like a cut-and-paste Van Gogh he is.  Brilliance like this comes around only once in while.  Enjoy it while you can.
