Freebies...in exchange for your suggestions..., by ricobenfico on Sept 13, 2010 22:09:14 GMT 1, So I'm looking for 2 things from you lovely folks please:
i) Suggestions (and links) to get good quality affordable business cards printed (UK based)
ii) My wife is looking for another tattoo and being inspired by my love for Xenz work, would like "A brightly coloured bird. A small bird. Like a hummingburd. With it's wings out. Maybe with a bit more detail" So pic's of said bird please would be great and there is a high chance this would be made into a tattoo in the coming months.
In exchange for your help, a wee goodbag to the person who offers the best suggestion. This will include the following:
Adam McLevey - original art sculpture i sold Andy Warhol (too soon) - Book by Richard Polsky Brighton Graffiti - Book by Bagshaw/Oates Stickers n Postcards/Flyers etc...

Best suggestion ever?
Kingfishers have the most amazing colours to the naked eye, not sure that be reproduced in a tat though?

By the way, you can get free business cards at www.vistaprint.co.uk (thanks to Pistol for the suggestion last week) and for the bird I would personally go for a parakeet having spent most of this year in Sydney, where they are quite common:
Xenx also did a lot of painting of these birds for his solo show at the Bicker gallery in Sydney

It's not a bad read Huw, quite interesting and yeah, he's written a couple of books based on his 30+ years of his art career.

I'm having a tattoo done at divine-canvas in London on Caledonian Rd, its a really cool shop with a top D*Face original on metal above the stairs. And a Banksy Turf War that if real, really needs to be sent to a better home, because its slipped in its frame and looks terrible, but other than the dodgy framing the place is top and I have seen some quite strange procedures being done in their...Take a look at the site to get an idea
www.divine-canvas.com (not for the squeamish)
My artist is Damien Voodoo, if you look at his pictures on the site picture 4/8 show pictures of my Graffiti inspired tattoo, it's still not finished but am more than happy and would really recommend Damien's work to anyone, he has a really unique style of using mostly dots that I think looks really cool.

There are a few...
this guy - www.sacredsymbols.co.uk/ has done some amazing, fautless work on a few friends of mine. When the Mrs wanted hers done it was the only place we considered. ricobenfico - Especially if you're going for some highly coloured work - just check out his gallery!!
