Tattoo age on VBS


Recommended Posts

i've always been a big fan of what the artists at Smith Street NY have been doing. After watching Part 1 of Tattoo Age, what i got out of the episode just affirms what i like so much about these guys, and more. if episode 1 is any sign of how this Tattoo Age series is going to be, then i am absolutely stoked about it.

Great shit Dan does! Dan talks about Outsider art and I agree that it shows in his stuff. When I first got into Dan Higgs, I immediately recognized the same aura as in outsider art. In the museum I work in, we have pretty big Outsider art exhibition. Called ITE-Art. ITE-Taide in Finnish. Same crude, childlike stuff.

Got the preview link this evening from the lovely Juliette- Shawn's right, it's really great! Dan comes across as someone who's really humble and who cares a lot about what he does, rather than having the whole "rock star attitude" people are used to with other shows, and I think it's really awesome.

Grime next week- can't wait!

That was really a very feel good production, I have high hopes for the rest of the series :)

Seconds that, it was awesome to see the things he collected and then seeing them in old photos, gives you goosebumps.

A great way to showcase tattoo history without being boring or lecturing, an appreciation of where it comes from.
