I’ve decided to make some blog posts specifically highlighting paintings from the Pascal’s Peeps Group Show. Between the forty five artists we ended up with just over one hundred pieces in the show and I think that would be a little too much to scroll through in a single post. So, for this first post I’d like to introduce you to four artists, all of which happen to be professional tattoo artists. I’m not sure how we ended up with a small group of tattooists, but we did and I’m super stoked about it. Here’s what happens when a tattoo artist trades in his needles and skin for some paint and brushes.

“Dear Lady”
by SAWDUST
12″ x 36″ – mixed media on canvas

Sawdust can be found at Sink Or Swim in Grover Beach, CA.

“Jensen Reference”

“Victorian Skull”

When Jason isn’t lurking around the bookstore he can be found at Tried And True in Arroyo Grande, CA.

“Last Minute Fun”
by Jake Schroeder
11″ x 14″ – mixed media on paper

You can see more of Jake’s work at www.itwontwashoff.com, which I think might be the best URL ever for a tattoo artist.

“Hooo-Baby!”

$200, plus shipping

“Redundancy Is The New Irony”
by Louie Campopiano
8.25″ x 32.5″ – mixed media on skateboard

Louie actually couldn’t put the needle down for too long as evidenced by the above piece, which is an actual pig skin he tattooed. How awesome is that?
Answer: SUPER AWESOME!
Jake and Louie can both be found at Traditional Tattoo in San Luis Obispo, CA.
