On Saturday May 19th Eric Gonzalez and Chuey Quintanar were tattooing live at Atomic Dogg Magazine’s “Super Bully Show” held at the Orange County Fair grounds. We’d like to thank Big L, Cruz, Herb, Dave Wilson, and everyone at Atomic Dogg Magazine for hosting the event and having us. A very special thanks to Le Voyageur Photography and everyone Deer’s Eye Studio crew for all your work and help in making this possible.
Nspired1 resident artist Jeffrey “The Catalyst Butcher” Figueroa was featured in issue 9 of “Bound by Ink” Magazine. The 10 page article showcases some of Jeffrey’s work but more importantly, gives insight on the depth, meaning and inspiration behind his artistic style.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
“Sometimes grotesque and sometimes beautiful, Jeffrey, The Butcher’s art is at all times polarizing and reactionary. Known for his often controversial mixed-media sculptures that ride the line of divinity and secular morbidity, Jeffrey will get a reaction for his art. It’s all part of his motivation for presenting it in the first place, almost putting the viewer within the composition, at least emotionally. ‘I’ll try to make something that you look at in disgust, but you can’t look away. You have to react to it and appreciate it- it will be unforgettable’…While his work can be seen by many as dark, macabre, tragic and morbid, Jeffrey’s art is very much alive – and so is his artistic spirit.” – John Jarasa; Bound by Ink.
