Had a trip to Morocco at the end of August. Weather was HOT, the food was good, the locals don’t like westerners unless you are spending money with them. Some of the artwork there was truly amazing. I have purchased some reference books on this subject and will be using some of this in some of my future works
The evening at Generation Pop was a great success and the turnout was much better than expected. I was run a bit ragged as I had to talk to people non stop all evening but a good night was had by all and I would like to thank all the people who purchased my artwork. The exhibition will run for 3 weeks. Anyone interested in purchasing artwork can either contact myself through the website or Generation Pop
I’m really pleased to announce that a selected collection of my artwork will be shown in the Manchester Gallery Pop Generation in August.
This is a public event so please feel free to come down and take a look
The showcase will be between the 12th and 25th August 2011.
One of the pieces from my new clothing range appeared last weekend within the Telegraph Magazine.
This particular item is called Caraggio and can be brought today from my clothing website.
I will be attending Stitch on 7th August 2011 in Earls Court 2, London. At this event I will be tattooing and showing my new range of clothing and licensing opportunities.
You can register to come to show via the Stitch website here
I’m attended Tattoo Jam August 5th – 7th, I’ll be tattooing there however I am fully booked but hope to meet new and old friends whilst there.

I took a small businessman’s holiday to Switzerland and paid a visit to Orlando’s tattoo studio which is in a small suburb of Basel.
I had some more work done to complete some work on my chest to cover some old work that was partly layered out. Whilst there, I was treated to a visit to Chez Donati which is a very old Italian restaurant and is real old school Italian cooking, the food is superb.
Starter was Ravioli, followed by beef tournedos and chocolate mousse for desert. Superb!
Paid a visit to Zurich and had a stroll down the Bahnhofstrasse. This is the place where all those private “Swiss Banks” are and should you ever go, check out the clothing shop “Bruno’s” – the stuff and prices have got to be seen to be believed, £3000 for a jumper, I kid you not.
I attended Tattoo freeze and was interviewed for the small series “Rhod Gilberts Work experience” where he tries to become a tattooist for a day. Funny guy but the results were very predictable.
I just wish more people would take note of what the guy was saying about how difficult it is to tattoo but it seems that anyone who fails in their chosen career then seems to think they will become a tattooist as its an “easy and glamourous” living? If only.
People who think that way are arrogant beyond belief and just add ammunition to the anti tattoo brigade.
