Displaying art at the Lehigh Valley Skindustry Tattoo Convention

Mike Panic — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 13:34:26 +0000

Last month I was approached about doing a collaboration piece for an upcoming art show being held during a tattoo convention. I agreed and we started to move things forward. Seyone from Hellbound Tattoo did an amazing hand painted graffiti piece on the side of a woman that I then photographed, digital manipulated and then added vector graphics to. The final output is a 16×22” canvas wrapped piece, 1.5” deep and looks amazing. Sadly, I did not get a chance to photograph the final piece as it needed to be delivered, I hope to get a few of it while it’s on display or at least post the digital version here after it has been put on display.

It can be seen on April 5th, 2008 at the Lehigh Valley Skindustry Tattoo Invitational, click the link for directions, times and all information. The piece will be up for sale, so go buy it!

Update! Below is the digital version of the file used for the canvas output. The black edges are wrapped around the 1 7/8″ deep stretcher bars and the SEYONE and Mike Panic you see on either side is on the side of the print itself. This piece is ready to hang, no frame needed, looks amazing in person. Come check it out at the art show!
