Cool Hunting
Opening tonight, 27 October 2006, Saved Tattoo presents "Monsters and Sex," a show of drawings and paintings, at their new spacious and ornate Williamsburg shop that runs through 27 November 2006. The exhibition features the work of artists and tattooists Chris Conn, Dan Trocchio, Chris O'Donnell, Ray Abeyta and Saved's own Scott Campbell. Chris Conn, retired tattoo artist-turned-illustrator has long been the unrivaled king of lusty pin-ups in the tattoo world. Having focused his talent on the art world, he is proving to be a formidable presence. Ray Abeyta in his highly crafted Mestizo-Baroque style adds a bit of erotic narrative with his oil paintings. Semi-retired from the tattoo business to focus his sights on art and design projects of much larger resonance, Scott Campbell has a waiting list of well over a year for tattoo work.

The...
With his high-concept mechanics, artist Jonathan Schipper's latest exhibition, "Irreversibility," is just as stunningly clever as the animatronic sculpture we watched him build a few years ago. Held at Brooklyn's Pierogi Gallery, the show is both a spectacle and showcase of recent sculptures and installations by Schipper, including "The Slow Inevitable Death of American Muscle," (pictured above) in which a live, head-on collision takes...

Born and raised in a fishing camp along the banks of a muddy bayou in rural Louisiana, all the esteemed tattoo artist Scott Campbell wanted to do as a youngin' was "draw pictures all day long." That aspiration is today a reality, with the results on display not only on the bodies of some lucky individuals, but in his first major solo presentation opening...
Brooklyn-based tattooist Scott Campbell has taken the art form to another level—not just by being one of the most sought-after tattoo artists in NY (if not the world) but for using a laser cutter to etch his intricate old-world designs into everything from laptops and books to leather chairs, tables and paintings. In this field trip to Scott's Brooklyn tattoo parlor and studio, he...
