TattooNOW Artist Member/Rides of Passage Special.

If you are a tattoo artist and havnt signed up to TattooNOW as an artist member yet, this week may be the time. We have received word that the snowboard tattoo book Rides of Passage are now available. We will send one out to all tattoo artists who join as a TattooNOW Artist Members before May 7th. For those who don't know what this amazing collection is all about: The folks at the Woodstock Tattoo Festival (Bruce Bart and Curse Mackey) contacted Crash at Tattoo Artist Magazine in mid-summer 04 to see if he had any interest in helping them secure artists for a show they had planned for the festival. 80 snowboard decks, provided by Burton, would be given to us to distribute to tattooers worldwide onto which each artist would draw, paint, hack or carve some sort of artwork and send it back for the show. Burton announced that the show would start at the Woodstock Festival, then travel to NYC, then LA, then some spots in Europe, and finally end the tour in Tokyo. Afterwhich any unsold boards would be returned to the artists to keep. Crash had participated somewhat in Sean Crofoot's skateboard show (L'art pour L'art) a few years ago and thought this idea certainly had some potential and signed on as co-curator with Curse Mackey (from PIGFACE). Over 120 fantastic snowboards, all in one book!
