[Orangutango]

Looks great hung, I will also be copying that! Can't wait for it to arrive, catalogue sounds even better than I expected.

Perseverance lectures are up!!!

Chris Brand! Horishiki!

And there are more too but I'll try posting them later if someone else doesn't get to it first.

A little bummed I can't watch these till I get home. They may not be safe for work viewing if you work with uptight folks.

Another display option if you have the same ikea lamp:

Wow and thanks so much, @Lance!

Can't wait to watch these.

Genius! Never thought I'd ever eagerly want to step into an ikea.

More video posting.

Horitaka! Taki lectures the first half and during the second, is where you see 50 backpieces/bodysuits walking around.

Kip Fulbeck! The photographer talks about how everything was put together.

Chaz Bojorquez! Lettering genius.

@Lance thanks for posting those. Just watched the Junii video, and it was great. Will get to the rest later.

[Orangutango]

Those videos are great @Lance, thanks. Got my catalog and Horitomo tenugui today, which I think scared our dog, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye and went straight into defense mode, barking at it till I took it down.

[smiling.politely]

Perused the catalog today between appointments, and already have my Horitomo tenugui framed and ready to hang tomorrow. Entirely too excited about it all.

[rads]

I'm halfway through the catalogue and my mind has been blown, it's so much more than I expected. If any one is thinking about ordering but hasn't done it yet - hurry up and do it!

[smiling.politely]

Flipping through a week ago, it occurred to me that this one is also in Tattoo Time, from when it was fresh. Probably spent 45 minutes poring over both images in concurrence with one another...

[suburbanxcore]

Crap. I forgot to order the catalog. Gotta get on that. Thanks for posting those videos.

[exume]

Ordered the catalog and a couple tengui. Recently started trying to fill my walls with cooler art, slowly making progress.

[CultExciter]

@exume Where is the order info for this? I'm not seeing it on the State of Grace site.

Ah, found it.

[exume]

Your Google-fu is strong.

Taki posted this TV segment today regarding the Perseverance Exhibit. It features Onizuka Tattoo's LA Horitaka (of the Horitoshi Family). His client does most of the talking though. There are cameos by Horitaka, and Jiro Yaguchi too.

I have the catalog now too, but haven't had a chance to look at it between house guests and my husband Bogarting it!

The SOG youtube channel seems to have all of the Perseverance exhibit lectures, and so on: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0HqOSotPyzs9oP2tFEdSqg

Did anyone happen to go to the Chris Brand/Brian Kaneko lecture at the JANM yesterday (8/23)? @Lance, I'm looking at you. I couldn't quite rally myself to get down there, but I'm curious to know what was said.

I couldn't make it down myself either. I was busy running errands around town and missed out. I'm very curious about what it was about too. Was it just a bunch of guys shooting the shit or was there a format?

[DJDeepFried]

Don't know. They said Q&A. Depends on the quality of the audience and their questions, I guess.

[CABS]

This exhibit opened my eyes even wider as to have breathtaking Japanese tattooing is.

This exhibit also really put me onto Brian Kaneko. His work is phenomenal.

[Fala]

@CABS - I've been wanting something from Brian for a while, I might have to figure out how to make that happen. He visits NY about once a year.

[DJDeepFried]

I talked to Brian at the Perseverance opening about getting tattooed by him while he's guesting in LA but couldn't follow up cos the money in the tattoo fund is already allocated for the next sesh on my arm. One tattoo at a time is the rule I made up for myself. I really wanted one of his beautiful white-tipped peonies and when I look on IG today what do you think I see? So jel.

[Lance]

@DJDeepFried, looks like they posted the Q&A on YouTube.

[JordanMTB]

I will be checking it out this weekend, I can't wait! I'm honestly a little ashamed of myself, this exhibit is like 40 minutes from my house and I've been putting it off till the last minute.
