New Custom Website Redesign!

We recently put the final touches on the redesign of Ryan Cook and Brooke Cook's studio website www.LuckyBella.com. We initially met the artistic couple in the late 2000's at Hell City and have remained friends since. Since then they've gone on to continue to grow as artists recently visiting Madrid, Spain to spend time with Robert Hernandez. Their growing studio currently has two other artists: Howard Neal who has been with Lucky Bella for a little over a year and enjoys doing american traditional. Also at the studio is Chuck B who has a long career in tattooing and enjoys doing large bold, bright  and clean work. You learn more about them and the main artists Ryan and Brooke on their Artist Page.




We had a theme of keeping it dark and mysterious while also making the latest tattoos the focus. We focused on delivering all of that and their social media extensions immediately in the top part of the website. After that we wanted to make sure the content and artists were shown uniform to the design.




 

With the tattoo art form spreading into every conceivable artistic style, it's important to take a step back every now and then and ask: What does this need to succeed as a tattoo? The question of longevity is the obvious issue, but the larger underlying importance of giving your work strength and clarity is not just about durability across time, but readability across the room.

In Guy Aitchison's new seminar, Structure, he demonstrates ways of strengthening your work, both in design and execution. It starts with a well balanced composition, with good flow and fit and strategic use of dark and light, which is then applied to skin using a variety of different ways, some which are shown in closeup video clips. Structure reflects Guy's most recent understandings of making your work strong and dynamic... if you're attending the Hell City Tattoo Fest this coming April 11-13, be sure to take advantage of this opportunity! It's happening in the prime slot on Saturday evening from 6-8pm in the Hell City Seminar Room. You can sign up at the Hyperspace Studios booth on the convention floor, or prepay at the Tattoo Education online store.
