I want to thank the staff of Tattoo Jam for their incredible hospitality and support at this year's show, especially Editor: Sion Smith, Events Manager Shelley Bond, and Managing Director Stuart Mears! You all are awesome and great to work with. The Venue was super cool, clean and easy to get around. the people attending and working were all cool, kind and great to meet and be around. I got to do a painting Demo with Jason Butcher, Lianne Moule, Jesse Smith, and Nikko Hurtado! Nikko and I painted from a live model, in front of hundreds of people sitting three feet behind us... nerve-racking! Jesse did an amazing monk painting! Jason did an awesome green skull and Lianne did a beautiful bird, (Didn't get photos) The paintings are being auctioned for charity through Skin Deep Magazine! Such and Honor. All the artists attending the show were inspiring and made me want to come home and work harder. I finally got to meet Chris Crooks in person and deliver his painting, he also purchased the colaboration I did with Jason Butcher. I had the privilege of winning "Best International Artist" which was so cool! Thank you all for the support! I got to tattoo some old friends, do a new piece and do a figure study along side my good friend Nikko the last night. Great time! Great show! Again, to the staff and help of Skin Deep, Tattoo Master, and Tattoo Jam.... Cheers! You guys rock!
p.s. Thanks for letting me be the "staff photographer" at the end;)
