So I added some cool new products to the store; stickers, vintage ads, lapel pins, buttons, and the very limited GORE SHRIEK stickers.

20200507_014325.jpg

Gore Shriek was first published in 1986 by FantaCo comics and showcased art by incredible artists including: Steve Bissette, Bruce Spaulding Fuller, Greg Capullo, Chas Balun, Allen Kozowski, and the incredible “the Gurch” Gurchain Singh. The runs were short and limited making the comics scarce. I personally didn’t get them until some random comic seller at a local toy show had a few. I bought EVERY COPY (this was pre Ebay days) and was able to track down a few more over the years. These comics WERE legendary, appearing in ads in back of FANGORIA magazine, I didn’t even know they were comics back then, I thought it was a horror t-shirt company until I held them in my hands. Gore Shriek comics consisted of intense, gorgeous comic art, typical generic horror stories, but oh man there were some real gems; fantastic splatter art by some true legends. Great editorials and horror retrospectives too. Gore Shriek also introduced me to “the Gurch” Gurchain Sighn, whose prolific work spattered the pages, and recently began producing art again after disappearing since the 90s!

So that’s why I decided to make these stickers not only as a tribute to the artists who’ve inspired me but also hopefully expose a new audience to this relatively obscure horror anthology comic. When I started I had no idea the series was rebooted which is super rad (please go support them) and were only going to be offered at conventions until everything ground to a halt because of the pandemic. These will only be available ONCE and never printed again. All stickers are scanned from my GS comic collection.

I’m also offering this crazy deal.

Every 10 stickers ordered gets you a LIMITED foil sticker, every 20 stickers gets you the second LIMITED foil sticker with alternate art, order the whole set you get a 5x7 original gore illustration by me!

I have an offer for any of my clients attending a convention this year.

If you enter a tattoo that I've done on you in a tattoo contest i will reimburse you for the convention ticket & the contest entrance fee.

It really doesn't matter how old the tattoo is,  or even how big it is as long as there's a category for it.

This is an experiment I've been wanting to try for a while. maybe it will prompt you to get out to a tattoo convention. maybe it will win me a few more awards. 

I'm going to have this deal go on until December 2018 so jump on this fast!

Here's the rules:

take a picture or selfie of you at the convention, preferable before you go onstage. You can email me the pic, or show me at the shop. I'll give you the $$, or take it off a tattoo session or piercing, your choice.

It also doesn't have to be a tattoo convention. if you find yourself anywhere there's a tattoo contest enter that shit, I'll honor too.

I can't be everywhere at once, so this benefits me and you, so get out there!

Are you ready to win some big prizes? Do you have what it takes?

It's time to separate the bugs from the other bugs!

The Kumite:

The tattoo contest was sick, great turnout!

The Kumite was a crowning success. Great turnout, the competitors were amazing and everyone went 1000%.

It was so much fun, and I want to give a HUGE thank you to all who came out, got gooed and glopped up and ate weird gross shit. I want to thank Yestercades, Artisanal Tattoo, and the only game in town, for their incredible prize donations, just know people did some crazy stuff to win them. Thank you to a video game con and their staff for allowing such ridiculous antics and putting up with the screaming and the mess.

I want to thank Ant, Joe, Kelly, Jen, for their help and assistance while i assaulted the crowd, you guys are the best and i couldn't have pulled the Kumite off without you guys.

Here's some pics, enjoy, see you next time.
