i have chosen these places because they seem to be all eligible places where i can shadow artists, learn new techniques and achive a new skill in something i would enjoy doing.

Cat von d is looked upon as one of the greatest tattoo artists and she inspires thousands of people to get tattoos or become a tattoo artist.

She has a highly skilled team of artists working with her, one of these artists is Nate Fierro. Nate Fierro was born in Hollywood, California in 1979, raised in LA, and has worked at High Voltage Tattoo since 2007. When approaching a tattoo, Nate favors imagery that proposes a creative challenge for him. Focusing on drawing and making each piece original for the individual client, while executing it in a way that withstands the test of time is Nate’s goal. Specializing in an illustrative neo-traditional Americana and Japanese style. Making both bright color and smooth black and grey tattoos, big, bold and clean. i am goign to try and contact nate fierro and focus all my research on him.

This artists sketches/doodles are very inspiring with how she can use just a pen to create highly intricate drawings on A5 pages. I aspire to be able to create drawings to this standard.

I would like to take advice from a local poet who has published his work and is renown in the local area. Attending a big event at Mima. This would give me a confidence boost if i had advice on where to take my poetry

Local Illustrator/Artist

This artist is local and occasionally does portraiture, I could contact this artist with a questionnaire on how he progressed to where he is.

Micheal McClure is a legendary poet who performed with Allen Ginsberg

at the legendary six gallery. It would be a very good experience to meet a 

poet who has contributed to a world wide known genre of literature and 

one that still grows to be inspirational, the beat generation. I would like to 

learn any techniques that are available or a certain mindset to have

Luis Benitez would be a very good person to ask about techniques

as he has established himself as a famous poet. With that

credibility it would prove to be beneficial for myself.

I could maybe email a questionaire to a member of this graffiti crew. I will send this questionaire to ask questions such as How did you become talented?, Why did you start?, Who inspired you to do graffiti? How did you gain skills to improve your own work? and Why did you chose to be apart of this crew?
