 Dragons mutated and infused with psychedelic colors in trippy tableaus.
Preening pin-ups with the luscious, highly exaggerated proportions of
adolescent fantasy. Creepy cute children inhabiting dark freakscapes.
Political satire played out in anthropomorphic caricature. Kittens and
rainbows. They're all in Color Tattoo Art: Cartoon. Comics. Pin-Up. Manga. New School. Yup, we've given birth to another monster in the series of large format, too-heavy-to-carry hardcovers for Edition Reuss Publishing. This time it's an ode to color bombs -- 496 pages filled with them. I'm honored to have worked with 42 exceptional artists from around the world (they are listed below), selecting 580 images of their stellar tattoo and fine art, as well as interviewing a number of them for thoughts on tattooing (and some personal gossip). It was a helluvalotta fun. If you're interested in purchasing one of my limited author copies, they're available for the discounted rate of $150 plus shipping. [They retail for $199.] Hit me up at marisa at needlesandsins.com for info. The books are also available to my Europeans friends for 98 Euros and can be purchased via Hermansky Books. For a sneak peak into the book, check out the Color Tattoo Art Flickr set.  Tattoo by GenkoColor Tattoo Art: Cartoon. Comics. Pin-Up. Manga. New School. It's a highly literal title to describe a book dedicated to graphic, animated tattoos as well as the paintings and drawings of tattooists. Were this book to be published in the 80s and early 90s, it may have simply been called New School -- a label often used to describe art that didn't fit into traditional tattoo categories like Americana, Tribal, & Japanese. But today, with styles blurring and evolving at a great pace, these highly saturated works are moving in different directions, defying easy classification with a catchy title. I briefly discuss this movement in my introduction and in the artist interviews, but we've largely let the work speak for itself on these full-color pages.
