2008-2009 PAINTINGS! Here is a sampling of what I have been working on so far this year, plus a couple from the Fall. Most of these are FOR SALE!, and there are plenty more to see in my photo albums!
I've been invited to submit some work for this huge new show opening at Paul Booth's LAST RITES TATTOO and ART GALLERY in New York City (That's all fancified n' shit y'all) SHOOO-WEE I'm excited to be a part of it, and if you're in the 'hood you should head down for the opening NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT!

I'll be there at the TATTOO GATHERING all weekend.
Once again, I will NOT be tattooing! I'm going to educate my own little brain; I will be attending seminars and participating in several of the great panel discussions tyhat will be going on all weekend long. If things work out, I may be doing some live painting as well.
Just a quick heads up! I'll be in Miami this coming October at the VISIONARY TATTOO EXPO!
Once again, I will be painting all weekend along side a cast of absolutely amazing artists, many of whom you will know, the rest you should get to know soon.
I will also be offering my seminar; "KID'S DON'T DO THIS AT HOME!" which covers lots of cool stuff about tattooing and painting and the relationship between the two. (more details coming soon) This will be your last chance to take this seminar in 2008!
SEE YOU THERE!
EVERYONE AROUND HERE SHOULD TAKE PART IN THE 'FIRST FRIDAY ART WALK'. Come out and support a great local art scene!

Since we haven't been able to update the Sanctuarytattoo website in so long, we have posted all of our new work here. Please check back; I'll be posting up lots of stuff from the last three years that no one has seen yet!
This unique & amazing event is scheduled to take place at this years Hell City 7 "Let it Bleed" and will continue throughout the entire festival. Participating artists will arrive Tuesday evening in order to be ready for a full two day private art jam on Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday morning all work will be moved to the Hell City Special Events room to begin the live performance part of the Innerstate project. We anticipate this to be a memorable weekend and a mark in art history. Participants have been selected. The 40 participating artists are a hand-picked list of tattoo artists who are known for their unique vision and technical command of working with another medium outside of tattooing. The goal is to produce a dynamic and fresh body of artwork over a 5-day period for use in a book and DVD documentary.
Innerstate will be an uninterrupted art jamming exhibition alongside some of the industry's finest! The artwork will be done as a live performance, with the crowd from the convention floor filtering through the Special Events room throughout the weekend. This room gets a lot of traffic from the main convention and will be an energetic environment. All completed pieces will be on display, and all artists who are still at work will have their easels arranged through the room to create a dynamic performance environment. Hell City is very excited to have well-known visionary artists present during this years festivities, we believe that the tattoo community is host to a wide range of highly original visionary talents. The whole purpose of the Innerstate project is to showcase this fact.
Participating Innerstate artists will have a merchandise table in front of the Special Events room, with a dedicated seller on staff the entire time selling shirts, books, prints as well as other merchandise- especially stuff that showcases an artistic vision. Guy and Michele will be conducting short video interviews and photo sessions with all artists throughout all 5 days for the book and DVD that will be following his amazing experience.
Innerstate will be hosting a Saturday night art party with DJ's spinning music and tons of other great things going on while the artists continue developing their pieces. The big Innerstate party will be Saturday night from 9pm-2am. Come drink and mingle with all the artists and attendess that will be partying, dancing and absorbing the atmosphere!
Innerstate & Hyperspace Studios will be having an opening reception for the completed body of work on Sunday from 5pm-7pm in the special events room, after which time the floor will close. The “Roast of Chris Longo” will follow at 8pm in the Union ballroom, which should make for some very memorable entertainment, don’t either of these new events at this years Hell City Tattoo Fest! Don't miss Innerstate; a historic tattoo community art event!..

Who I'd like to meet: Some years earlier she loved deeply. She experienced his death in a plane, but turned and walked away. The feeling, and soon after as she lay on the couch, I could sense from her breathing a powerful spasm, a quick pressure, a scream of fright which was followed by deep crying flashed into her mind. I produced the screams each time, then it was over. Soon after she fell in love like quicksand. Good boy nor the bad boy is the man, aware of the rigidity in several heart attacks. But he was afraid of many things, and he could not swim to say no to a woman, to a course of action, of behavior. The answer then, problems, picture in a flash was just the sensation this girl felt. She was bitter, though I had not suspected her continued feeling of frustration; of mixed rage and crying, of bitterness changed nothing. One had simply to ask; What? What was she bitter about? The other. Pride, it was not expressed. The meaning of the long stiff neck; the pride of the neck so long.
