The Pine Barrens
By Nick Baxter - Nick Baxter
I did this fun sleeve on my studio partner Evan Lovett, inspired by The Pine Barrens forest in his childhood home New Jersey. He wanted to pay homage to one of his favorite places and express a theme of rebirth and regeneration--which takes place after the cleansing destruction of naturally-occuring forest fires. I attempted to capture the essence of glowing, burning embers and charred wood through some experimental layering techniques, and worked into an existing hand tattoo done by our mutual friend Sean Zee.

Three days of becoming a better artists, tattooers, and people! The Rock River Tattoo Art Expo will combine aspects of artist-focused professional development events with the style of a larger tattoo convention, open to the public. The two convention floors will be filled with artist and vendor booths, with the artists showcasing not only tattooing but work in other mediums as well. Some booths will feature live painting alongside the tattoo booths. There will be additional vendor booths in some of the hallways and auxiliary spaces along with a museum exhibit showcasing some important tattoo artifacts including some of local significance. Throughout the weekend there will be activity on the main stage including interviews, talks by high-profile speakers, a historical discussion, tattoo art critiques, and a daily showcase of work that was completed on the convention floor.
