Shawn Barber Fame

Holy moly. I am excited to be able to post about this AMAZING artist. and when I say amazing, I am not kidding one little bit. I am forever scouring tattoo magazines, for new ideas and pretty images to stick into journals and things like that. Yesterday, I picked up one of my annual reads, and was so stoked with what was inside. A feature on Mr Shawn Barber. Now, prior to opening this magazine I has shamefully never heard of this amazingly talented {read OFF THE HOOK CRAZY TALENTED} dude. But since checking out the article and being totally wow-ed, i have been sitting on his website for the last few hours, going through his portfolio. Im only more than happy to share some of his delicious work here... feast your eyes on these wonders....



Seriously... It is mind boggling. I tried to select some of my favourites, but honestly, I adore them all... so I reckon you should probably just head over his website... and check out his work {I particularly love this body of work...no suprises really}

Oh! And thank ya'll all for the support of the opening of my shop! Dont forget to go on and enter the giveaway to win yourself some Miss Sparkle goodies.

  5. My goodness, what a talented soul! I adore photorealism, and in the context of tattoos and a more gritty subject matter... I think I am in love :) xx
