Default Re: what changed from watching THE WHOLE ENCHILADA

throw em in here ! I appreciate your endorsement on this project, I heard that theres thunderous internet chat about it in a negative way, but am not interested to read any of it, were busy.

But for you to take time and endorse it in such a way is dope. Topshelfs work is growin as well and RAPIDLY.

I feel like the two of you came into this film at entirely different skill levels, and technical application knowledge, and have both grown from different points at the same speed. Its incredible to see this explosion in your art and in your motivation to create MORE art! So you guys started dat a different place and have both moved to seperate places but in the same time - i dunno its hard to explain - its AWESOME!

To take pride in what your doing and to try and raise the bar for yourself with every single tattoo is priceless, and really thats the point isnt it?

To try and guide the client into the absolute best possible tattoo you can do with the placement and art requests, while still maintaining a recognizable style, so that when the viewer sees it he/she immediatly knows the artist who did it.

I have seen the growth that MY artists here in our crew display regularly BRANCH OUT into other tattooers lives. That rapid Acceleration of style and use of imagery and illustration combining with hints of realism.

Its amazing to watch whats happening and you guys are both two perfect examples of that.

A lot of artists come to us, most of them grow extremely fast. This is not because of me, but moreso because of the enviornment we have created. Motivated focus, artwork, promotion, pride in what you do, experimentation, exposure, equiptment selection n- hell all of it - it goes through this amazing transitin in an artists life - Take SEAN HERMAN for example. Joshua Carlton, Nate Beavers, Dave Tedder, Chris Vennekamp, Tim Orth, Bryan Reynolds, Jeff Paetzold, Quecke, Josh Woods etc etc - cmon? these guys blew up artistically and it was an amazing site to behold and forever changes my artwork every time.

and now to see that same focus and motivation and self preservation and artistic growth POUR into OTHER TATTOO SHOPS IS AMZING!

wow?
