As of today about half of them are spoken for. They are going pretty quickly.

Haha whoops. Din't realize Shawn already posted something about it. Sorry guys.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up about a new book we are working on. Lost Love is a collection of vintage tattoo flash presented in a 200 page 9×12 hardcover format. This book represents a handful of private collections and is full of never before published sheets of antique flash along with acetates, sketches, and photos. The images in this unique collection were selected to embody the rich and diverse history of tattooing. Our goal was to show everything from folky to fancy. This book will contain unsigned flash sheets as well as images from Cap Coleman, Paul Rogers, Sailor Jerry, Stoney St Clair, Percy Waters, Milton Zeis, and many more. The first 200 Lost Love pre orders will receive a limited print of vintage flash with their book and it will be shipped in hand silk-screened packaging. Pre orders have already started and the book is expected in early Feb. can be purchased at Yellow Beak Press

Here is a small video teaser for the book.

I saw a little preview of the content. Top notch. So stoked Jason is doing this.

PS- as of right now we still have a few of the limited prints available if you are planning on pre ordering you can still get one.

Pre orders should start tonight. I don't expect the prints to last long. Born Weird pre orders | Yellow Beak Press

Floyd Samson tattooed by Milton Zeis

When researching the Zeis book I came across a fair amount of info about Floyd Samson. He was mostly a circus and carnival tattooer. Met Zeis working with the Cole Bros circus. Stayed in contact for the rest of Zeis's life. He settled down in Rockford in his later years. From my understanding helped Milt keep the supply company going for a while. Zeis's daughter was worried something bad happened to him because he just disappeared one day and they never heard from him after that. I assume he got the traveling bug but who knows. I will have to do some digging and see if I can find any info about where and when he died. His flash is really folk art looking but very cool. I would love to have a sheet of it. Sheet below was on ebay some time last year.

Yeah pre orders will get some goodies but thats a ways off. I am guessing Feb.

I saw all the finished sheets for the first time this week. Everyone really threw down on this one. It was super impressive to see them displayed in the gallery. If you are near Portland check it out!

I just wanted to mention this new project we are working on. It is an exhibit catalog for an art show with the theme “Born Weird” at Portland’s own Upper Playground gallery FIFTY24PDX. Craig Brown of Historic Tattoo and Scott Boyer of Yellow Beak Press have hand picked the contributors for this project. Tattooers were selected based on style and asked to paint four sheets containing gross or weird subject matter. The result seem to be all over the board from gross-out to just bizarre. We promise it won’t disappoint! The book we are producing will include all of the content from the exhibit and some extra material. We hope to have it out in early 2013. Check Yellow Beak Press production updates.The opening was on 10-4-12 at PDX’s Upper Playground gallery. The exhibit will be up until December 2012. The roster is as follows.

Hats off to Valerie and Stewart. Top notch people and it shows through in my opinion. Deserving of all that comes your way.

Ps- I really like the Zeis repaints on the wall lurking in the background. Nicely done.

did you guys get prints as well?

glad you like it.

The print ships in a separate poster tube. I would never fold a nice print like that. I hope you enjoy it. All the US pre orders have shipped. Still working on the international orders and the copies for the people who did reprints. They should all be shipped by early next week.

No we have plenty.

shipping as fast as we can! up all night packing books and prints.

Books Shipping this week. Sorry for the long wait. The release party was a blast. I will post all the photo booth pictures as soon as I have them.

Just an update for everyone. Books are here. Pre orders ship on weds june 20. Thank you so much for the support!

Hi,

Does anybody know if the new Milton Zeis book, Tattooing as you like it will be made available in the UK? I've looked in to ordering it but the cost of the book and the shipping itself works out at £106 or $168. I know it's worth paying the cost rather than buying a couple of books that aren't that much good but to me it's still a lot of money to part with! So I thought I'd see if anyone had any ideas before I spend a fortune on shipping to find that it's available in the UK in a few months time!

Gentlemans is planning on carrying it but its going to be a few months. Its a big heavy book so shipping over seas is pretty spendy. Sorry about that.

probably won't see him on season 2 of ink master...
