Located in Chicago Illinois, USA. She tattoos at BUTTERFAT STUDIOS , a private, appointment only tattoo shop in Chicago.

Stephanie’s style is a mix of art nouveau, woodcut and scientific illustration. You can see her fine art background in her designs, the color palette used, the placement and how they all come together from drawing on paper to ink on the skin. blueskycomplex.com #tattoo #tatuaje #ink #StephanieBrown #tattooartist

This astonishing wall mural projected for Grădina cu filme – Cinema & More shows a male gazing at the night sky, surprised in a wandering frame of mind. The subject siting on a turned-off television and the head oriented towards the stars and the moon may imply the meaning of the rupture from the brain-washing technology revealing organic liberation of the modern individual. The blue state fades gradually with the recognition of the natural ease.

NOM Last night in Bucharest!ⒸObie Platon Posted by Obie Platon on Monday, April 20, 2015 Regarded as a mural which carries satanic symbols by the Church and its parishioners, the street art piece was censored. “We didn’t wish to attack anyone or to mock the religious matters.” “It’s not a pamphlet, it is about the inner fight with the ego” , declared Iustin Moldovan, curator of the art team that created the mural painting. It is said that the Church put pressure on the Urbanism Direction of the town hall. And even if they don’t have authorization, they didn’t want to argue with the Church. Therefor the artists were asked  to modify the mural so that” it won’t cause any more problems”. The minister of the Saint Gheorghe church, Emil Caramizaru says that his parishioners went to the building owner to do something about the so-called religion-mocking piece and in the end the latter has agreed. The pope denies any accusation of censorship. So, in the modern times, creativity is suppressed in Romania and acts of artistic freedom are decided by authority figures. The ‘offensive mural’ doesn’t depart of other Church drawings that may cause horror through actual satanic representations like demons on its walls or saints with dog heads in the Orthodox calendar.

Ka Ta – graphics on paper and skin. She has a background in designing clothes and furniture. Her style is somewhat graphic and she uses a lot of dotwork but remains very fluid as she mentioned. “See, all the designs (her tattoos) have flow and movement. It’s also what I do with the tattoos I design. I don’t like to close a composition, but to leave it open and sort of floating.” Ka Ta’s ideas when designing for a client come from seeing structures, patterns and products. She also stated that: “The drawing comes without thinking. I feel that somehow, they will get what they need, through me. That I’m not an ‘artist,’ I’m just the pen.” Her designs are truly unique and definitely worth watching. tattoo.by.KaTa #tattoo #KaTa #tatuaje #ink #tattooartist

Meet Louis Masai , the artist who spreads art as a form of connecting the society with environment . Wondering about the fact why people would care about matters that don’t affect them on a daily basis, the artist decided upon related illegal murals which were done in one day on Brick Lane. He teamed up with Jim Vision for project “Save the Bees” in order to spread the message in an alternative, entertaining way. Besides the street art pieces, the guys regard gathering people of whose occupation depend on bees. Figures such as Hiver beer, Dead Gents clothing and Inkkas have involved for enlightening the individual’s frame of mind. Also, they made up a platform where they could bestow wildflowers seed for people to make a small difference in the environment but significant. Batteries Not Included is a free exhibition from Louis Masai and runs from 30th April to 29th May at Lollipop Gallery in Shoreditch, London.
