Blowguns, Beach Whistles...

"Blowguns, Beach Whistles and the True Definition of Powerlessness" is the name of a video project by Scott Harrison, illustrator and tattoo artist extraordinaire. And you thought I was writing a summer account of some kind of altercation with a life guard... No really, you need to check out his website, but beware; cartoon genitalia abounds...as he warns. The project is available for your viewing pleasure on his site - it's a collection of stories told by tattooers all over the globe (I think they are all tattooers..?) From the mundane to the "too much information- I don't feel like eating anymore" category, the yarns are worth a viewing. His site "links" page has a link to this fine radio station front and center - reason enough to check out his pristine yet disturbing artwork - TONS of it, and the artwork of many others. You'll need a day to browse - the man is obsessed with eggs methinks, but you will come back again and again. Scott is also a part of a 6 person show (the website says 6 tattoo artists but it's actually 5 plus a NJ photographer) that is traveling the United States; this gallery gives you the lowdown on that... coming to a town near you!

Thanks for listing our Exhibit on your blog. the show will be traveling to the Philip Slein Galleru St Louis in September 10, 2005. So if anyone lives out there here is a chance to shee the show.

I got Chesty's spam comment in my blog too. Now that I see he's done the same here, I've deleted it from mine.
