 The lastest in tattoo news is Shane O’Neill’s participation in teaching a black and gray tattoo seminar with Bob Tyrrell Sunday May 9, 2010.  Spots are limited to 15 people so be sure to sign up as soon as possible.  It will be held here at Off the Map Tattoo in Easthampton, Massachusetts.  Tattoos will be executed by Bob Tyrrell in the days prior to the event, but, unfortunately Bob is already all booked up.  As for Shane O’Neill, he will be here the Monday and Tuesday following the seminar.  

Shane O’Neill can execute a photo realistic tattoo no matter if it is in black and grey or is a color tattoo.  Take this Willie Nelson tattoo in black and gray, for example.  As far as a color portrait, Shane as no problem:

Don’t forget about Mike DeVries immediately following Shane O’Neill’s stay!  Click here for the roster of guest artists visiting our Massachusetts tattoo studio.

Joe Capobianco: Back in the Saddle. Now I hope I don’t get Bucked!

 Well, I’ve been trying to get back into the swing again, with painting tattooing, and taken care of business at the shop. Just in time too. We got big things just over the horizon for Hope Gallery. Keep an eye out in the coming days for more info on this. 

 But in the meantime. Heres where IM at with the painting on my easel at the moment. 

Started with the airbrush, and have moved in with a paintbrush. IM trying my hand at a more painterly look (or as painterly as IM liable to get). Its all acrylic on Gessoed, Water color paper. 

The Skull in the background is mainly complete, but I’ve still got a bit of work to accomplish on the bride in the foreground. Looking forward to finishing this Baddie before too long. Already got plans for my next piece.

 You may have noticed that she’s the sketch from my sketch book "Knock Yerself Out". This will be my back up painting for the Last Rites Gallery show "Flesh to Canvas", if my next piece doesn’t work out. Fingers crossed… 

Tattoo Inspiration: Dream Tattoo

Tattoo of the day goes to the dream tattoo by Oleg (pronounced Alec like Alec Baldwin) Turyanskiy.Yeah, two days in a row, we’ll get this tattoo of the day thing true to its name before you know it…
