Arts
It feels like an Arby’s night and many other things in this week’s episode! It’s finally here! The tattoo episode! The guys welcome special guest, and gnarly tattoo artist, Brian Carr to the show to discuss the wide world of tattooing and how it intersects with graphic design. Before all that they get into Sir David Puddy, the importance of celebrating wins with each project, how physical work can be more gratifying than purely digital stuff, NBA jerseys, Moby’s horrifying neck tattoo, and Aaron Carter’s even more horrifying face tattoo! Top it all off with some unforgivable art crimes by dickhead Jerry King and you got an entire thing! After the break, the fellas get into tattooing! Brian shares how he got his start from non-stop drawing, to getting an apprenticeship and eventually becoming the big, fancy tattoo man he is today! He also gets into his process for each tattoo (or project, it’s no different from design) and how each client is different whether it’s their background, their budget or what they want out of each tattoo and how that’s shaped his approach over time. From there they get into common misconceptions about tattooing, how some folks are easier to deal with than others, what makes a great shop to work at and why Brain still gives a damn. It’s a good episode! We swear! This episode was accidentally brought to you by Spicy Mini Pumpkins, David Puddy, Starship Troopers and other things.
