One week after the opening....

A week ago we launched KOKORO: THE ART OF HORIYOSHI III.
The party was a great success, people from all over London, Uk and Europe join us to view the beautiful paintings by Horiyoshi III. We had Miki Vialetto, Lal Hardy, Hanky Panky, George Bone (proper old schoolers!!) and friends from Jolie Rouge, Cult Classic, Family Business, Good Times, Into You and more, joining us for a nice evening to finally view this amazing exhibition i worked really hard for. The response was so good, I couldn't be more happy and grateful for the support given from new and old friends.
I really hope that a new idea about tattoos and tattooists will get through the masses and open their eyes to a new world,  through one of the best examples of man's devotion to his work and art: Horiyoshi III.
As a young tattooist that still have plenty to learn, but that have witnessed the change in the industry after the mass medias tsunami, I felt that showing Horiyoshi's paintings in such a tattoo-free environment could open a more realistic and deep view for any type of public, into a world that has been often depicted in a misleading way.
The beauty of his work, I believe, can touch everybodies mind and soul, whether there's a knowledge on what's being shown or not......the paintings can charm anybody. That's when, I think, we are in front of true Art.
So please, if you are going to view the exhibition, forget all you know about tattoos you learned on tv, and go with a light heart, and enjoy the view!

Just one week in, and apparently we had already more then 2000 visitors! Books, prints and photos are selling well, so make sure you get yourself some, as books and photos are numbered and limited to a certain number only!

Also, there's and article on the Guarding with a good video about Horiyoshi III you might enjoy.....

News before Japan.

Hello dear followers! I hope you had a nice st-Patrick day! :)
So I have news for you about this month...
I have tattooed quite a LOT. Or at least, more than i usually do...
So I feel great about finishing big work faster, but exhausted in the same time... Working after hours, drawing all night are things that are a part of this Life of mine.
And I really enjoy it, even when it's hard work!!!
The upcoming week is the last one before our trip to Japan. I am so excited!!!
Okay here are some images...

Small post

Hello!
Okay this time, less talk and just a picture of a tattoo.
It's been a busy session on nico that day.
Good weekend y'all!!!

Some news.

Hello and greetings!
The weather in Geneva has gone warmer these last weeks, and the winter seem to gently let go. I'm glad, because I am lazy and I don't like to be forced to wear tons of clothes every time I get out haha!
I got my back tattooed one more time.
My wife and I went to Zurich and I got to spend time with one of my best friends.
I had dinner with my dad, which I haven't seen for like 8 month because he's gone sailing and lives on his boat. I had great expectations about meeting him. There are so many achievements and accomplishment that I wanted to talk with him about. One dinner is not much time, and my father also had lots of things to tell us.
Oh anyway I hope to see him again soon. I took some pictures of food lately. And random drawings for clients.

I draw a lot more for people than for myself. Part of the equation is the number of hours in one day, another is that I don't feel like drawing for myself sometimes.
