Salavat Fidai

While many artists go big in terms of canvas size, one multimedia sculptor has reached international success on a small scale. He’s gained a loyal social media following for transforming pencil lead into unbelievable sculptures, carving away precise details at a fraction of a millimeter. For the past four years, he has mastered his craft by replicating a number of recognizable symbols, images and themes found in modern popular culture. Take a look at how Salavat Fidai began his art career, his process for creating a sculpture, and which piece has been the most challenging so far.

Mark Wosgereau

Denmark is known for a handful of cultural exports—including vikings, the Nymphomaniac film series, Hans Christian Anderson, Carslberg beer, and Victoria’s Secret angel Josephine Skriver. However, when it comes to the tattoo industry, the country’s biggest artistic icon is Mark Wosgerau. The black-and-grey tattooer has gained international success for his incredible surrealistic tattoos and enchanting realism faces. His bold and bulletproof black-and-grey has quite literally taken over Instagram and there is no stopping this Scandinavian superstar from achieving world domination. However, we wanted to find out what really goes on behind those impressive back pieces and epic foam wipedowns. How could a tattooer with virtually no apprenticeship experience rise to the very top of Denmark’s growing tattoo industry? Which tattoo convention does he continue to return to year after year? Why he abandoned color for a strict black-and-grey body of work? What separates Mark Wosegerau from the other amazing tattoo artists out there? We’ve got the answers to all of these questions and more. Keep on reading to learn a thing or two about one of the leading Scandinavian tattooers of our time.

Matt Curzon

When it comes to neo-traditional tattooing, everything is bigger, brighter, and badder down under. And we caught up with a true industry icon, Australia’s own Matt Curzon, to learn how he’s become a leader in the evolving genre. With just seven short years in the game, he is coming out of the gate swinging and whooping the butts of artists with 20 years to their name. His unique approach to color theory has the entire world talking, however, it is his extensive knowledge of composition, value, and contrast that keeps his clients coming back for more. We can assure you that you’ll be booking your next trip to Victoria after getting a sneak peek at just a few of the tattoos this artist has to offer. Or at the very least, you’ll be sure to follow him on Instagram after this interview. Take a look to learn how he became one of Australia’s top dogs, how he developed his unique approach to color, and which cities he will be visiting in 2018. Who knows, maybe a Matt Curzon custom is in your future.
