Happy birthday to artist Scott Campbell. He began his art career as a tattoo artist, leaving permanent marks on the likes of Marc Jacobs and Sting and then he made the leap into galleries. His works need to be seen to be believed. He is known to take stacks of uncut sheets of dollar bills and carve very intricate designs out of them (as you can see above). I’ve seen his art in both Los Angeles and New York and I’ve been blown away each time. If you are in the New York area, you can see his work in a group exhibit called “Blankness is Not a Void,” at Marc Jancou Contemporary (located at 524 West 24th Street in Manhattan). Happy birthday Scott!

If you’ve never walked up to a total stranger on the street and asked to photograph their Banksy tattoo, it’s an experience I highly recommend!

Thanks to the rockstar that let me photograph his really cool Keith Haring and Andy Warhol tattoos!

The above image of the Golden Girls by Glen Hanson has become an icon that is nearly as famous as the girls themselves. The illustration has been featured on the cover of a book (The Q Guide to The Golden Girls by Jim Colucci), the viral video “Betty White Lines“ and just try to visit San Francisco, New York or Los Angeles without running into that image on a T-shirt! Glen Hanson’s Golden Girls illustration has even been turned into a tattoo that looks pretty cool, according2g. Today on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show, during a segment on “bad paid-for tattoos,” the image was featured giving the artist Glen Hanson no credit and no respect. You can see the image here:

We’d like to give credit to the artist and we’d also like to challenge Ellen’s choices about what makes “bad art” especially as this is the same person who featured former President George Bush on her show after he made his feelings about the ban on gay marriage abundantly clear.
Ellen might not have your back Glen, but According2g does! G power!
