This dude...

This dude came into the tattoo shop yesterday to see if we were interested in purchasing any art.

Usually these types of people are either selling something they've stolen or bad 80's tribal art that they think tattoo shops want to buy. What a thrill it was to actually have someone come in with some art that is lovely to look at. We ended up purchasing 4 of his line-drawings.

Check Stefan Thompson out.

It's like Neil Gaiman meets Where The Wild Things Are...
I found the great white shark painted on the surfboard a little unsettling...but for the most part, his art is (insert overused words here) haunting and dreamy.
