Det har vært en lang uke, med mye pr for "Just another roadtrip" Conseptet.
For de som ikke er så veldig media oppdatert så kan jeg fortelle at vi hadde 2 helsider i østlandsposten på lørdag, 2 helsider i Telemarks avisa i dag, og et radio intervju på P1 i dag tidlig.
Mer moro om prosjektet kommer fortløpende. Stay tuned for introduksjon av en ny tattoo artist vi skal intervjue under roadtrippen i morgen!

Tattoo up!

Hadde min trofaste blinde kunde Frode innom her om dagen. Fikk pyntet litt mer på kroppen hans!

Today's artist is:

Greg James




He is one of the foremost tattoo artists in the world. A veteran of over 20 years in the tattoo industry,
Greg has not only tattooed thousands of clients but has also appeared on various television programs
including The Discovery Channel's "Tattoo!: Beauty, Art, and Pain.




He works at sunset strip tattoo, ocated in Hollywood, California.
surprisingly, found on Sunset Blvd.
The shop has in the last decade been known to tattoo some of rock'n'rolls greatest names,
included ozzy, guns'n'roses, motley crue and britney spears of course




For Motley Crue's album cover for the "New Tattoo" album,
he designed a custom Gibson Bass built for Nikki Sixx

We welcome Greg to the project!
Salud!

Today's artist is:

Boog






Many call him the King of Script, but legendary street artist Boog is so much more than that.
Seldom are the truisms of influence so vividly and honestly put to skin.
Art drawn from Pain poverty and neglect Boogs twenty two years of tattooing have taken
him on a journey from the streets to inking some of the stars of today.






His clientele include The Prodigy (his favourite band) but talking with him you get a
real and honest sense that his street roots have never been compromised,
he talks of the tribulations of street life, naming the one thing that was always a constant for Boog,
tattooing, and this is something he is committed to not forgetting
I would never turn my back on it, as it never turned its back on me.






Boogs stylings conjure a myriad of Mexican iconography, religious themes,
demented clowns swayed in sublimely shaded smoke and the script and meaningful
caricature of urban street life; He delivers his artwork with the effortless,
natural demeanour that only accompanies those ?born to do it?


We welcome Boog to the project!
Salud!

Today's artist is:

Freddy Negrete




Freddy Negrete designed the tattoos for the movies "Blade" (1998)
and "Bound By Honor aka blood in blood out" (1993), he allso had a small role as "freddy" in this movie.
and was a body makeup artist for "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" (1997).
He has allso designed the tribal tattoo for george clooney in "From dusk til dawn" and the fake tattoos in con air.




He is considered to have helped introduce the style of using
a single-needle method for black and gray tattoos.




We welcome Freddy to the project!
Salud!

Et par bilder fra standen min under gatas parlament sin bok release på kongegata i larvik.
Flere bilder kommer.

Every week we'll write a little bit about one of the artists that will be featured on this project. Today's artist is:

Tom berg



Tom has been tattooing for about eight years, primarily providing custom work to his clients. He excels in black and grey and while working well in color. His work contains images on the darker side.

Born in June 1967, Tom, has drawn pretty much all his life. Around 1989 he took up painting full-time and worked for various comics and game companies painting in black and white. Tom met up with Ethan and Terri in late '94. Starting his apprenticeship in early '95 he has worked at So Cal every since. Mainly working in black and grey he still enjoys color and he still paints and draws constantly. He has won various awards including national tattoo tour awards. He is looking forward to a long healthy career with So Cal Tattoo.



in early 2002 Tom was commissioned to design the full back tattoo art for the title character from the Universal Pictures movie, "Red Dragon."
He also made the custom tattoo for the tv series prison break.
