Don Ed Hardy (Editor): Tattootime 5 - Art From The Heart | |||||||||
Just why did Hardy Marks not continue its Tattootime series after issue number 5 "Art From The Heart"!? They started taking things a bit further in this tome: many more pages than before, and more emphasis on the "arts aspect" of tattooing. (Of which we are currently seeing a renaissance.) Ed Hardy once again put together many inspiring pi- eces: portfolios of tattoo legend Bob Shaw, Thomas Woodruff (paintings, no ink), Thom De Vita, Cynthia Witkin (whose style is very minimalistic and unique), and the great Michael Malone (aka Rollo). I do, btw, highly recommend the latter's "Bull's Eyes & Black Eyes" (also published by Hardy Marks). Articles include "Weirdo Art & The Rebirth Of Bold American Classics" (meaning tattoo designs), "Eu- ropean Explorers & Marquesan Tattooing: The Wil- dest Island Style" by none other than Tricia Allen (who has published several articles on many asp- ects of tribal tattooing), plus a look at how tribal tattoos have developed since getting big time ex- posure in 1982 thanks to Tattootime 1 "New Trib- alism". A portrait feature introduces us to the late Samo- an chief Suluape Petelo (RIP). "Art From The Heart" can still be ordered from Ta- ttoo City San Francisco. Tattootime 01 "New Trib- alism" and Tattootime 04 "Life & Death Tattoos" are only available second hand; if you need help tracking them down, do contact me. |
