Born Weird

[ShawnPorter]

@sboyer and his partner are about to drop another book via their Yellow Beak Press label- Born Weird.

I figure he's been so damned busy working on it that he's forgotten to start a thread. Since I'm super excited about it, I'll jump in and start one up- hope you don't mind, Scott?

I've been pretty vocal about my love for Higgs, Dave Lum and Scott Harrison's work in the 1990s- that "American Weirdo" style that Hardy talked about in Tattoo Time V. It really influenced how I got tattooed more than just about any other 'school' of tattooing save esoteric/occult stuff. I think it's fair to say that Weirdo stuff led me to where I am now.

I just put a few teaser images up from the book on Occult Vibrations, and... it's just weird. So weird. Almost (blissfully) untattooably weird.

It's going to be like the Zeis book- first 200 (of 2000) copies gets a watercolor print.

I'm really geeked about this one.

It was a good exhibit, lot of fun stuff, can't wait to see the book.

Born Weird stuff has always intrigued me. Jeff Rassier is on my list of to-get-tattooed-by, and I plan on getting something pretty weird from him. Stoked to see what this book brings.

I was so excited apparently that I went out and got tattooed by the second tattooer on the list of contributors yesterday, Adam Craven. It was a coincidence, however seeing the exhibit made me more aware of his work, instead of just the guy who works with Mav, who does nice tattoos.

Been getting all the updateds on IG and getting more and more excited for this. Based on all the teasers I've been seeing, this book is going to give me brain damage. Keep up the good work @sboyer

PS- as of right now we still have a few of the limited prints available if you are planning on pre ordering you can still get one.

Got mine yesterday, SO GOOD. So many cool things that I imagine I will never get the chance to tattoo hahaha

Slightly damaged in shipping but not terrible, just glad to have it

Had a quick look through this recently, cat sheets were undoubtably the weirdest of the lot.
