I am in this fabulous book
Ran Maclurkin Tattooing @ The Piercing Urge Upstairs 206 Commercail rd Prahran Melbourne Australia
i dont like to be like everyone else, i like to tattoo in my own style. I do mainly custom work and am very fortunate to have a loyal client base that loves what i do. My style has been referred to as Brut Art, i like to call it Abstract Noir. I am influenced by a lot of comic art, film and music. I enjoy a clean but raw feel to my tattoos, and think less is more. I have been drawing in this style since i was a little kid, and was told when i started tattooing that people would not like it or want it. My large client list may disagree.....
I come from a graphic design background and current clients include: Cardboards Kiteboards, Custome Decal Go kart graphics and el monster loco
My Abstract Noir has been referred to as Brut Art. ("Raw Art" or "Rough Art" in French) is a label created by French painter Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the boundaries of official culture. Dubuffet focused particularly on the art of the insane. The English term "Outsider Art", which is synonym for the Art Brut, is often applied more broadly, to include certain works of non-professional artists, who intentionally or not had created original art uninfluenced by the canon.
It is raw and childlike, and primal. If you want a piece like this be assured no two are the same and it will be designed for you.
Kawaii Noir is the cute but sinister cousin, this is usually cleaner and more stylalized, think bears with knives, or a koala zombie.
