Vintage Tattoo Flash is a one-of-a-kind visual exploration of the history and evolution of tattooing in America. A luscious, offset-printed, hardcover tome-a beautiful and serious addition to the understanding of one of the world's oldest and most popular art forms. Electric tattooing as we know it today was invented in New York City at the turn of the 19th century. In the first days of American tattooing, tattoos were primarily worn by sailors and soldiers, outlaws and outsiders. The visual language of what came to be known as "traditional tattooing" was developed in those early days on the Bowery and catered to the interests of the clientele. Common imagery that soon became canon included sailing ships, women, hearts, roses, daggers, eagles, dragons, wolves, panthers, skulls, crosses, and popular cartoon characters of the era. The first tattooists also figured out that using bold outlines, complimented by solid color and smooth shading, was the proper technique for creating art on a body that would stand the test of time. In the over 100 years since then, techniques and styles have evolved, and the customer base has expanded, but the core subject matter and philosophy developed at the dawn of electric tattooing has persisted as perennial favorites through the modern era. While most tattoos are inherently ephemeral, transported on skin until the death of the collector, a visual record exists in the form of tattoo flash: the hand-painted sheets of designs posted in tattoo shops for customers to select from. Painted and repainted, stolen, traded, bought and sold, these sheets are passed between artists through one channel or another, often having multiple useful lives in a variety of shops scattered across time and geography. The utility of these original pieces of painted art has made it so that original examples can still be found in use or up for grabs if you know where to look. Vintage Tattoo Flash draws from the personal collection of Jonathan Shaw-renowned outlaw tattooist and author-and represents a selection of over 300 pieces of flash from one of the largest private collections in existence. Vintage Tattoo Flash spans the first roughly 75 years of American tattooing from the 1900s Bowery, to 50s Texas, through the Pike in the 60s and the development of the first black and grey, single-needle tattooing in LA in the 70s. The book lovingly reproduces entirely unpublished sheets of original flash from the likes of Bob Shaw, Zeke Owen, Tex Rowe, Ted Inman, Ace Harlyn, Ed Smith, Paul Rogers, the Moskowitz brothers, and many, many others relatively known and unknown.

Two people, despite being in different points of life, battle a shadow with different faces. Seventeen-year-old Nicolas and his mother escape his insane father's torment by moving to an apartment outside of town. When he started to suffer from hallucinations similar to his father's, he feared he'd end up exactly like his father did. His new neighbor stepped in and began shedding more light on what was really at play. Police detective Erik pursued the head of the notorious Surkins gang that resettled in Welltown. Strange hallucinations and nightmares began plaguing him during the chase. Upon capturing the gang leader, Erik discovered that these trances are caused by whatever the Surkins worship. Erik teams up with a crew of scientists and soldiers who came to stop this force, while Nicolas must trust his neighbor to battle it. As time passes, the events only worsen, and it became clear that this Shadow was beyond what they could understand. It threatened to kill everyone they loved and destroy all they knew.

It¿s not every day that we wake up and decide to put life on hold and start living. This is what Jonathan did after turning forty. Having realized that probably he had already lived half his life he decided to embark on a sabbatical to enjoy time off, reflect about his life and make sure he was living life on his terms and not on someone else¿s. Coming from a small Mediterranean island, culture and circumstance often dictate our actions, behaviors, and next steps. Jonathan broke with this norm and is calling on us to re-evaluate what really makes us tick. #Forty is a journey which questions the way we have done things and assists us in answering the ¿what next?¿. It is our journey ¿ one of self-discovery. A thought provoking, easy to use hand book of a few of the life lessons Jonathan has picked up along the years and others which he is still working on. Pick it up, put it down. Read a chapter or two and reflect. Use it whichever way you wish ¿ there is a lesson for each and every one of us. Most of all ¿ enjoy the journey. Table of Contents: 1.

More of what people loved about the first volume!In Vintage Tattoo Flash: Volume 2, Jonathan Shaw unearths more gems from his extensive and world-renowned collection of traditional American tattoo art. Comprised entirely of previously unseen and unpublished work, Volume 2 picks up where the first volume left off-contributing a new and important body of work to the historical record of this outsider art form.Electric tattooing as we know it today was invented in New York City at the turn of the 20th century.

The next UK SDSR is scheduled for 2015. We should not set our expectations too high. Whitehall, says Shaw, is locked within frameworks of language and custom that are a hindrance to clear thinking about defence requirements and their implementation. 'Unfit for Purpose' exposes the workings of Whitehall to reveal a fragmented structure and culture.
