Artspiration – Shawn Barber

I always love discovering new art and becoming aware of new artists. I’m very fortunate to be surrounded by some amazingly talented tattoo artists. It’s wonderful to be inspired by them and to have them share with me what inspires them.

So I thought I would start sharing some of what I consider really amazing art. This will be an ongoing thing. It will likely span a pretty broad spectrum of visual arts.

Shawn Barber has been doing a series of oil paintings, portraits of tattoo artists. Sometimes it’s just their hands, sometimes a nude portrait of them, sometimes it’s their own tattoos, sometimes it’s even just a still life of their set up.
