Henry Lewis

I'm really into Henry Lewis' work. Mike Davis and Henry Lewis will be opening a show together at Fecal Face Dot Gallery on Saturday January 9th. Fecal Face just posted a really interesting studio visit with Lewis.

blowguns, beach whistles and the true definition of powerlessness

Scott Harrison has been tattooing since 1990 working all over the United States as well as Mexico, England and Japan. Currently his unique brand of traditional American style tattoos can be found at Atlas Tattoo in Portland, Oregon. Not only an accomplished tattooer Scott holds a B.A., a B.F.A. and an M.F.A. and taught cartooning and illustration at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Harrison's self described "mysteriously successful" website headbandbrothers.com is home to one of the most captivatingly strange videos I have ever watched.



Blowguns, Beach Whistles and the True Definition of Powerlessness is a video project produced by Harrison in 2005. The project documents the best stories of a select group of tattooers. Describing these stories as raw would be an understatement.

SO IF YOUR SQUEAMISH OR SENSITIVE OR EASILY OFFENDED DONT CLICK THE LINK.

If your like me however, fascinated by the human experience, then take the time to watch this unrelenting, unedited, collection of craziness. For better or for worse, one thing is for sure, your never going to be the same.





Despite my best efforts an embedded code for the video doesn't seem to be available.

So after you click on the link below, click Harrison, then click moving pictures, and finally Blowguns, Beach Whistles and the True Definition of Powerlessness

Lots of effort by todays web standards, but never the less, here it is Blowguns, Beach Whistles and the True Definition of Powerlessness (in super HIGH DEF circa 2005)

Level.

I recently began contributing content to the online magazine Level. Started in 1999, the mag has an interesting history behind it, and I'm really excited for the opportunity to contribute.

My first article for the Good Stuff column was posted today. Its an interview with illustrator Josh J. Holinaty. Josh has a really inspiring portfolio and it was a real treat to ask him a few questions about his art practice. Have a read here.

behind the scenes

Today in the mail I just got back this slide that I had published in the June issue of Bike



Its pretty cool to see all the markings on the contact sheet from the photo editor. Being a fan of all things hand drawn I'm loving all the writing on the returned submission.

In more Bike news, I just had a review in the latest issue.

I love american coffee, and I'm also really bad at updating my blog.
Just updated my site though
www.the4color.com
also I got a twitter account, which seems like a terrible idea considering how infrequently I update my blog. If you have twitter follow me
