Dedicating a tattoo to someone loved or admired.

Many people decide to get a tattoo with the face of a loved one because for them it shows the love and how special they are in their lives. The biggest challenge is finding an artist who can project a clear picture of who the person is and is a bit devastating when someone very important in the family question "Who is this person?" not realizing that the intention of the tattoo is the image of either the mother, father or son of the person who asked who he was.

 

Going for a situation like this can be quite traumatic because the person who did the tattoo had confidence in the artist who did the work. Having regrets about a tattoo is not something new and often there are people who complain about certain artist's work and are unhappy about the lack of knowledge regarding the quality of talent that particular artist have.

 

Some people choose to tattoo the image of a celebrity (either actual or legendary) and the rules when it comes to do portraits do not change. It's hard to believe when a person recommend an artist without ever having been tattooed by him, and many people fall into the trap and when they make the mistake that then leads to a job poorly done they have no choice but to cover with a tattoo over it to cover it up. (cover up DUH).

 

When getting a tattoo (not only in terms of images of people) one has to keep in mind that it is necessary to honestly show what having a tattoo means to us, especially if it is the image of a loved one. The person being tattooed has a responsibility to investigate the work of an artist and decide for themselves whether they like the work of that artist it or not.

Tattoo of pet, why not?

People often show the great love they have for their pets in such impressive way they go get a tattoo based on the picture of that animal that becomes part of their lives and is ideal for families or even a person who needs a real good friend which often hard find in a human.

Pets become part of people's lives to the point where they can change the fate of a person for good and they make people have a greater respect for what is the right to life and compassion for defenseless creatures. Pets are there at all times and although many people do not want to accept those creatures feel and suffer, we all know they have a bigger heart and are more sincere than people who do not take into consideration to prevent abuse and mistreatment of them.

JOHN KOCH "Painting New York Life"

No periodo de 16 de Outubro de 2001 a 27 de Janeiro de 2002 a 'New York Historical Society"organizou uma exposição à volta de John Koch, pintor realista e retratista desconhecido para o Mundo, mas não desconhecido em Nova York, cidade que ele documentou através da sua arte, durante os anos 50, 60 e início de 70.
Com efeito, John Koch (1909-1978) resistente do realismo num período dominado pelo Expressionismo Abstracto e pela "feira das vaidades" e os egocentrismos decadentes de Warwhol, deixou-nos testemunhos detalhados dum mundo NovaYorquino de artistas, modelos, interiores do seu elegante apartamento com vista para Central Park e ambientes com a sua mulher Dora Zalavsky, professora de piano ...
John Koch era em grande parte um artista auto-didacta, com 4 anos de auto formação em Paris, copiando pinturas no Louvre ... no entanto ele conseguiu viver com estilo e qualidade através do que ganhava com os seus retratos, desenvolvendo um verdadeiro 'Salon' cultural sofisticado, que ele tão bem documentou ... e que constituiu um verdadeiro 'oásis' ...

INKLINGS - Lewis, Tolkien, Williams - "The capacity to dream or the power of imagination"

Os "Inklings" eram um grupo de escritores, tendo os principais tido um percurso académico ligado à Universidade de Oxford, nomeadamente ao 'Magdalen College' ...
No presente depois da transposição para o cinema de 'Lord of the Rings', o nome de Tolkien tornou-se uma legenda, assim como o de C.S. Lewis através das 'Chronicles of Narnia' e a sua transposição para o cinema, além do filme 'Shadowlands' com Anthony Hopkins, onde a sua relação com a escritora Americana Joy Davidman Gresham é retratada e o seu dramático desfecho.
Os 'inklings', que constituíam uma tertúlia literária com vários nomes importantes, além dos já citados, encontravam-se no ambiente académico de Oxford e, uma vez por semana, no Pub "Eagle and Child", que ficou famoso devido a este ilustre grupo...

CARL HOLSOE "The magical metaphysics of light and interiors"

Carl Holsoe pintor dinamarquês (1863-1935) foi um importante pintor da segunda metade do sec. XIX e primeira metade do sec. XX que foi muito apreciado pelo público e coleccionadores tendo recebido prémios internacionais ... a 'ligação' associativa à mágica de Vermeer é inevitável, mas Carl é profundamente escandinavo na sua metafisica de luz nórdica .... ideal para contemplar ao som da música de Grieg ...
