Tattooed Portraits 2, Solo Show, May 5th 2007



hi everyone-
I apologize if I haven't replied to your emails the past few months-
my schedule is out of control- 4 solo shows this year, teaching a
class at art school, doing commercial work, learning to tattoo, and
travelling to document artists and promote my book has consumed all of
my time and energy.
I am proud to present my upcoming solo show- 'Tattooed Portraits 2' at
the shooting gallery in san francisco opening on saturday, may 5th
2007 running through june 2nd.
If you can make it to the opening- I hope that you're suprised with
the new works and it's progression- they are definitely a must see in
person- print doesn't do them justice, especially because of scale.
The majority of the figures are life size or larger- standing up to
pieces is the best way to view these works... The show is up for a
month- so if you can't make it to the opening, hopefully you can see
it during it's time in the gallery-
If you're interested in purchasing a piece from the show-
contact the gallery directly to preview the works and purchase
something from the show.
The gallery already has a growing waiting list...

I am also putting together a second Tattooed Portraits Book- should be
out mid summer through 9mm Books...
Attached is the show card and front page to my website-
feel free to repost everywhere...
If you would like to be put on the mailing list- please respond with
your physical address and I will mail a postcard to you. If you live
out of the area and are interested in promoting the show in your area-
we printed 10,000 postcards and I can send a stack to you if you want
to help promote the works....
Thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement- I'm very happy
to show what I've been working on this past year. I will have ALL of
the new works on my site AFTER may 5th, so please check back to see
what's new...
Hope to see you soon,
shawn barber

your a demon shawn ! :)
I can feel the sheer weight of your work ethic and passion coming through your words.
Im glad that at 19 and as an art student i feel ive begun to discover this same drive within myself, the sheer crushing mental weight of it all and all consuming effort surrounding the work, it feels like my head is about to implode and cave in on itself!
Anyway, congrats on the show always enjoyed your work yada yada yada :)
