Devries – Always Working on his ArtI’ve had other posts about Mike Devries and I’ll admit he is one of my favorite well known tattoo artists. I was just beefing up his page on my tattoo artist’s site, and discovered a resource for all the extra projects Devries is involved in. Reflected Art is the name and it only came about last year. The project is actually a partnership between Devries and John Pyles, also known as Terminator John. Terminator John is a passionate tattoo collector and the two of them brought together their different perspectives and their love of body art to offer a nice selection of related items.
Carson Hill InventorCarson Hill is an outstanding painter, renowned tattoo artist, photographer, scientist and inventor of a revolutionary tattoo machine. He has a rare combination of artistic talent in addition to a scientific brain. He has invented a tattoo machine called the Neuma that is very different from the ones that have been around for decades. It may be a challenge to convince established artists to try something so different from what their used to, but all you have to do is check out Carson Hill’s portfolio or that of Mike Devries who also prefers the Neuma over a traditional machine.
