Tattoo Hollywood Best in Show Award and... →
She didn’t use a stencil. I’m not sure if she ever does. The tattoo was drawn on by hand with a sterile marker prior to starting. Katie hardly had any swelling even after a full 9 hours of tattooing. Once finished, Horiren proclaimed, “WE FINISHED!! VERY VERY STRONG GIRL” and, as Katie says, continued to praise her strength in Japanese. Katie was given a ceremonial robe to wear and...

Nouveau Art Tattoo →
If you’re unfamiliar with the works of C.R. Mackintosh, he’s definitely one artist you may want to look into. As one of the forerunners of the Arts and Crafts movement, as well as a proponent of Art Nouveau, his designs, and those of his contemporaries are often only seen in galleries. Often times you will see echoes of their works carried over into the 20th century, as many of the...

One of my favourite anime directors, Satoshi Kon,... →
Leveraging animation’s ability for a director to erase boundaries and exercise nuanced control of the entire image, Kon is the master at this. There’s the world as it theoretically is. Then, there is the world as it is reflected in media. Then, the world as it is interpreted by the human mind… subdivisible into conscious and subconscious, rational and irrational. In...

The Downfall of American Apparel →
But the charm of American Apparel was always the fact that it was decidedly not the Gap. For all its Starbucks-like ubiquity, the brand was able to maintain an aura of épater le bourgeois radicalism. The American Apparel girl was never someone you’d want to take home for Thanksgiving, unless you were really mad at your mom. It seems unnatural to take away her vinyl short-shorts and put her...
IF 'THE BABYSITTER'S CLUB' WAS WRITTEN BY THE... →
And yeah, it really bums me out to watch Claudia just snort up half those Pixie Stixs when she is so blatantly trying to get attention to her sugar problem, but every time we try to talk to her about it she says she needs it to focus on her art and that her super-strict Asian parents are coming down on her ass again so what’s the point, really? This whole club is really getting to be a drag...
WRITER OF 'BATTLEFIELD EARTH' APOLOGIZES FOR... →
I researched Scientology before signing on to the movie, to make sure I wasn’t making anything that would indoctrinate people. I took a few courses, including the Purification Rundown, or Purif. You go to CC every day, take vitamins and go in and out of a sauna so toxins are released from your body. You’re supposed to reach an “End Point.” I never did, but I was...

Another Stunning Entry in Jack’s Personal Journal of Extreme Significance,
I tried talking to Sawyer about our conflicting feelings for Kate, but he told me that he couldn’t “give a flying fuck at the moon,” about my feelings and that I should get back to him when I “know what that damn smoke monster is.” I tried telling him that the so-called “smoke monster” is really a metaphor for our...
