SEMINAR DVD not a tattoo apprenticeship!

[BRANDON BOND]

"The Whole Enchilada" is an incredible collection of motivational and professional information directly pertaining to all levels of a Tattoo Artist's Career. This DVD is being released by Brandon Bond and his Publishing Company STRANGLEHOLD PUBLICATIONS with FULL LOCK MEDIA, and will be made available ONLY to professional Tattoo artists. After an artist purchases the DVD ONLY through www.strangleholdmerch.com the purchaser will be contacted directly Stranglehold Staff for various forms of confirmation options. If confirmation is not possible, the purchaser will be refunded. It will be on sale in the next 10 days, NO ADVANCE ORDERS WILL BE TAKEN, because we don't sell anything that we don't have in our hands first. We have been waiting for an extensive amount of copy protection and region free preparation to overlap itself like 50 times. Sorry for the delay, but that's why we DO NOT take advanced orders, no one has been more pissed about it than us! But it came out incredible, and we couldn't be more pleased with the final version. This 2 hour+ film is in NO WAY meant to REPLACE an apprenticeship!!! All aspects of sterilization and cross contamination must be covered prior to viewing this DVD.

This will light a fire under the ass of even the laziest of all tattoo guys, and gives you a window into the growth and techniques of ALL OR NOTHING and Brandon Bond. It covers everything about stencil layout, illustration vs realism, tattooing, time management, focus, promotion, running a crew, attracting great artists to your shop, dealing with the customers, convention booth acquisition, and career growth. This is a career changing film, from a man that has succeeded on his own terms, and explains in vivid detail exactly how it can happen for anyone who is willing to put fourth the effort.

"This barrage of information is priceless, 15 long years in the making, from an artist who is ever changing our industry". East Coast Ink Magazine

"Tattooing is my life, I have lived for nothing but this art form for 15 years, and this is a collection of the fruits of that labor, and will give the viewer absolutely everything we have discovered to date about this industry and the equipment we use." - Brandon Bond

The seminar will also include the comprehensive list of all International Magazines dealing in Tattoo Artistry. This list has taken us 4 years to complete and has been extremely time consuming and expensive. In many cases the addresses listed are NOT the magazine, but the editors personal addresses, or the direct line to art directors. Venezuela, Scandinavia, Mexico, Japan, Sweden, America, Italy, England, the Czech Republic, Australia, Brazil, Germany, and many other countries. We have already received an article/interview from each of these addresses, so we know that they are as accurate as possible. Many magazines are not sold in the US, but attract clients from afar. Also getting articles in "other languages" is easy, and blows the minds of your clients when you frame it in your studio. The Seminar DVD explains in painstaking detail exactly what to send to where, at what time, and in what form based on the content and audience. This section is dissected by both Brandon Bond and Joy Surles (Editor of Tattoo Review Magazine, Skin Art Magazine, Taboo Tattoo Magazine, Tattoos for Women Magazine, Tattoos for Men Magazine, and Hard Core Ink Magazine).

The seminar was filmed at two locations, Little Johns Greensboro Tattoo Convention where Brandon was doing a live seminar with Joy Surles about tattooing, color blending, black and grey and promotion was the first film location. The second was the luxurious A.N.T.I. Art Elite studio in Atlanta www.antiartatlanta.com www.antiartelite.com Multiple cameras were brought into this exclusive studio and remained for the duration of a tattoo created by Brandon "up close and personal". There are no distractions while tattooing in complete privacy and focusing on the execution of a full color piece from beginning to end. As Brandon discusses topics at the seminar, scenes of the actual tattoo process in up close detail interrupt the discussion. This allows to viewer to get both the live touring Seminar in its uncut entirety and simultaneously watch the private creation of a piece on his personal apprentice, Matt Dunlap. www.mjdunlap.com This project is 2 films blended into one.

How to get an ARTICLE in a tattoo magazine, what to send and what NOT to send, when and how often to send it, as well as web presence, promotion, running a business, attracting great artists to work for you and much more!!

"I start at the beginning and discuss image placement, selection of illustration, photo reference, body positioning, cropping an image, enlarging, talking clients into bigger and better artwork, beginning a custom portfolio, and then begin an technical discussion. An open discourse of question and answer involving everything from making the stencil, whether to even use lines or not and how to properly do both, machines, needles, ink selection, color palette, COLOR BLENDING, how to get a client to be able to sit longer, highlights, negative space, and when a tattoo is really finished. And that's just the beginning of the film. Next we cover everything about business, artists, promotion, money and the price of tea in China, it is everything broken down into simplicity". - Brandon Bond

The Seminar DVD will also include the Sketch Book (loosely referred to as a Seminar Manual) from Stranglehold Publication and All or Nothing entitled "Burning Bridges and Breaking Hearts" which is referenced in the film and stencil layout on several occasions. The Book will be signed to you by Brandon Bond, Sean Herman , and Dave Tedder at no extra charge. We will also include a packet of stickers and cards as referred to in the promotions section of the film.
