| 26 Mar 2025 | Crossing Disciplines | Gifford Kasen | 00:37:09 | |
We're diving deep into the world of Gifford Kasen! An artist who didn't just learn tattooing, but breathed it, challenged it, and transformed through relentless curiosity. From punk rock flyers to intricate large scale biomech designs, to incredible fine art, this is about breaking down artistic barriers and finding your own voice in a world that's constantly trying to box you in. Every technical skill, every experimental technique, every moment of creative friction becomes part of the toolkit of an artist committed to continuous development. This isn't some motivational poster - it's about understanding how artistic growth happens through deliberate challenge, strategic experimentation, and a willingness to completely demolish your comfort zone. If you're serious about leveling up your craft, get ready to look at your artistic development like a technical problem that needs solving - one barrier at a time. Check out the Article on the website and see Gifford's work: https://explore.firesidetattoo.com/post/cross-disciplines--gifford-kasen--ep-294

Check out the Deep Dive Page on Firesidetattoo.com: https://www.firesidetattoo.com/tattoo-library/from-bad-apple-to-tattoo-royalty-king-ruck-ep-274~29179 [09:57] “I would Just grab a marker, and start drawing on someone. Being a graffiti artist and a heavy visual illustrator, it just made it real easy for me to do that” — King Ruck Tattooing on skin demands a unique understanding of values, highlights, dramatic shadows, and other elements that set it apart from traditional art forms. The abstract shapes, structural elements, and compositional techniques of graffiti bring a distinctive flavor to tattoo design. This fusion of two art forms enriches the tattooing process, offering a unique perspective that traditional drawing backgrounds may not provide. The experience of working with diverse layouts, such as tall walls, narrow spaces, and different shapes, in graffiti art, can prove invaluable when designing large-scale tattoos. The compositional skills acquired in the world of graffiti might not seamlessly translate to the art of tattooing, but they can definitely give you an advantage early on. Even if you aren’t a Graffiti writer yourself, taking time to study these designs might be beneficial. Support us while buying the stuff you need at the links below!
