Perseverance - Japanese Tattoo Tradition in the Modern World

[Reyeslv]

I was just at JANM, where they were photographing some Chris Brand back pieces. Everyone should get excited about this come next Spring. Plan your vacations and book your tickets now if you live outside of LA. This is going to be cool.

I was first this morning do didn't get to see anyone else get photographed. Taki is a cool guy and we spoke for a bit and from what I gathered from him this is going to be an awesome exhibit.

I am stoked for this. In the meantime, any L.A. folks planning to go to this on Oct. 3?

I agree. Saw this and was really excited about it. Then I realized I can't make it the opening night at least. Pretty bummed. Please update me later if you go.

I hope they make the exhibition catalog available to the public online/mail. Otherwise I would ask a big favor of anyone attending to help me grab a copy. I saw what look like a sneak preview of it on FB and it appears to be a bound hardcopy:

I want to check this out soooo badly.

@Lance thanks for posting the videos. I'm a HUGE fan of Brian Kaneko's work and I can definitely see the Horitoshi influence in it. Amazing stuff!

[Lance]

Less than a month away! Who's planning on going?

2 more videos btw. Some really nice work from Brand, Shige, and Miyazo can be seen.

I will be attending the preview reception on the 7th of March. Who else is attending?

[Lance]

@Reyeslv, yup March 7th. I'm going to go to the reception too, but I also want to listen to all the speakers on the 8th. Good thing I live 15 minutes from down town :-)

@DJDeepFried and I can't go to the opening as we are not Museum members, but we will probably go on the 8th...

[cvportagee]

I am jealous of those who are attending on the 7th. I just got the invite in the mail the other day and it hurts a bit that I cannot go. I request a full report @Lance.

[Lance]

@cvportagee, sorry to hear you won't be able to make it. it would have been cool to meet up. Also it would have been cool to spy your latest and greatest too. I will definitely give a full reporting to everyone when I go. :-)

If I go on the 8th, we'll likely cross paths. It'd be cool to meet others too.

I would definitely be there if I wasn't in a wedding. I was looking forward to seeing you and other LST members there. Next time we meet up I will have a lot of progress to show you due to the fact that I have had two appointments with Jill and two with Horitomo over the last 5 weeks and another with Horitomo this weekend. I am not posting any of it until either Jill or Horitomo post it first or it is completely finished. Have a great time at the opening and I can't wait to see your monmon cats in person.

I just realized I'm getting a tattoo that day (the 8th)! D'oh. Hadn't looked at the calendar for March in a while. Just been focusing on my upcoming Feb 22nd appointment. Can't really cancel a tattoo to go to a tattoo art show. @DJDeepFried will probably still go though, I might be able to go after.

Oof, that's a shame. But getting tattooed def trumps looking at a tattoo. If you are able to make it later, cool. Or if @DJDeepFried attends, it'd be great to meet you both. This doesn't help at all, but look for the long haired pudgy Asian with glasses and black and grey tattoos. Needle in a hay stack.

Ha, we'd love to meet you. He (or we) will be going up to everyone there, "Lance? Lance?" Wait, wasn't there supposed to be some type of code word for LST-ers to find each other in a crowd? I do have an LST t-shirt...

[Killercook76]

who's going to this from NYC? My tattoo is in the exhibit and i'm off during those days but not sure if I want to travel that far for this. I really want to!! HA!

[irezumi]

Is there a roll call of LSTers going? Me and a buddy will be there Friday and then again on Saturday for the lectures.

[Orangutango]

I'm kinda tempted to look for cheap flights for this and the analog gallery opening, drive the coast inbetween. I'm still finding it strange that things like this are now within striking distance for me, MPLS may be cold but it's a lot closer to Cali than Melbourne!

[Jen Beirola]

I'm flying in tomorrow and will be there on the 7th and 8th. I can't wait! I don't think I personally know anyone else going yet. I saw an LST meet up mentioned earlier. We should make that happen.
