samurai and severed snake head
By Jeff Gogue - Jeff Gogue Art
This in progress work of a samurai mask, maple leaves, peonies, dahlias, and a severed sneak head really shows the power of designing with archs and flow patterns. I try to set the viewer’s eye in motion with the direction things look like they are moving in. I love the challenge of using a static image to portray movement, and the fun part is a tattoo in many ways is in continual motion wether the person’s body is moving or even on a microscopic and time lapse level, the cells around the pigment are continually regenerating causing tiny shifts in the pigment… what a cool thought.

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.
