Marcus Kuhn's New Project

[tatB]

I love all of them and I've watched each episode at least 3 times so I decided to donate a few dollars to the Gypsy Gentleman project...

What other locations do you want to see episodes for? I think Chicago and Australia would make great episodes.

I would like to see a Eastern Europe/Russia episode. I think it's high time some of those guys doing mind blowing work out there get a little love.

I got to hang with Marcus for a bit today, he said that the Japan episode was all set to air until they figured out that the Japanese Translation was all wrong. They're going back in and correcting it and he hopes it'll be finished around June 23.

Even more exciting is who he plans to film with next, I'll give a hint, they discussed it and this person agreed to do it while at the Paris convention...

Anyone else see the wonderful irony of this in a tattoo documentary?

But seriously, glad to hear it's coming soon!

[Lance]

Damn! I saw people posting to this thread again so my first reaction was that it was released. I was extremely excited for a brief moment. Thanks a lot ;-)

Well, here's hoping it is released sometime next week. That would be an awesome bookend to my back piece experiences. My last session is also next week on the 21st.

Got a hangover from hell so just sat and watched every episode back to back there, best thing I've seen since the Vice Tattoo Age shows and Max seems like a really cool guy which is always good to see especially from a top artist. The Japan episode is going to be quality.

I have been checking the website every single day for the new episode. Dang!

[traditional111]

He told me in an email that it should be out in a week or two. He mentioned the translation was still giving them difficulties. Soooooooon.

Wait for it...

I haven't felt this teased since I dated that orthodox chick in high school.

[introspect]

[Iwar]

BOOM, we have lift off!! Looks like it's live now :)

[cltattooing]

Yesssss, gonna spend my day off digesting this

[el twe]

!!!!

[ironchef]

Gonna watch it first thing after I get home from work tonight!

[tatB]

This and cold beer(s) are my plans for tonight.

It is awesome that most of here are "grown-ups" and have something as simple as a documentary that we can get this excited about.

Just finished it. In case there was any question, this proved that Shige is the Hanya master!

Someone pointed out Marcus' quasi-accent in the Paris episode and we see a little bit of it here again, I think he's just so well traveled and versed in so many different cultures that he can just slip into an almost local identity in all of these places. His humility and respect shown here is incredibly Japanese (especially towards Horiyoshi III and his wife). Marcus truly is a gentleman and finds ways to assimilate very well into other cultures.

That Hannya mask back piece is so beautiful.

[el twe]

Yeah, seeing moving images of that was incredible but it was the Hanya tribal front panel that really did me in. Not my style, but just beautiful in design and execution.

[guitguy]

Wow. Feels like I've been waiting a long time for this, but I really have no idea how long it's been hahaha...

This is such a great series and this new episode may be the best yet. And so begins the wait in anticipation of the next installment. sigh ;)

[ironchef]

The Fudo chest piece is INSANE! And the outlined and rooster and snake thigh piece is intense!!!
