The Epitome of 1986

The Gonz never fails to inspire. He may act crazy now — but you gotta love him. 20+ years of style personified.

The Epitome of 1986
Toss your hammers and bangers to the wayside for just a minute and focus on this classic image of Mark Gonzales doing his thing in Eugene, Oregon in 1986. One of the original street masters of our lifetime, many eyes follow Gonz’ line as he draws upon the simplicity of a boardslide with style. — Photo by Paul Zenk

Art for a Dollar

5

Excellent statement on the American dollar from artist Scott Campbell. Wonder how many bills are in each piece?

“Critically acclaimed tattoo artist, Scott Campbell, recently showed his work at the O.H.W.O.W. gallery in Miami, FL. The highlight of the evening was a series of laser-cut etchings, each on a stack of $1 bills. The collection is entitled “Make It Rain” and shows a sampling of the artist’s dark and beautiful undertones.

Scott Campbell was born in rural Louisiana and began his career illustrating before mastering the art of tattoo. In 2004, he opened Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn where he perfected his signature style. More at scottcampbelltattoo.com.”
