As is generally the case, I was just going to snap some photos of the spread, but the camera's batteries died. Again. I'll get some shots of the article up when I'm recharged!
It's super nice that the magazine approached Shawn about doing this interview at the Edmonton convention last year- any publicity is good publicity!- but it is hilarious that the piece they initially noticed (a really pretty FULL BACK PIECE with chrysanthemums and a koi) is pictured about the size of a credit card in the article. Also, one of the cooler little old school pieces (a skull apple and pencil crossbones) done on a teacher client of his is featured eeeeentsy weeentsy on the cover, with no credit, and then not featured in the article at all!
Nonetheless...Little to no interpretive liberty was taken with the questionnaire, and a good cross section of work is featured- which makes me happy! Shawn O'Connor- Natural Wonder! Way to go, darling dear!
(Also...I don't mean to be catty- really I don't!- but does anyone else love looking at tattoo magazines just for the laugh factor???)
