I’ve been a long time fan of Sang Bleu, my first appearance in any sort of publication was in Sang Bleu #0 back in 2006. I recently had the pleasure of finally meeting & being tattooed by Maxime Buechi (Sang Bleu creator) last week.

‘Sang Bleu is happy and proud to announce its first official event in
NYC! Hosted by Envoy Enterprises, the show will present a selection of
works by Thomas Hooper, renowned tattoo artist and editor of Sang Bleu.
Thomas’ pictorial work although directly complementary to his skin-based
work, sails far from the world of tattooing to explore a very
medium-orientated abstraction. Mixing with ease orthodox and unorthodox
painting techniques, organic textures with computer-enhanced patterns,
accidental stains with geometrical entities, witnessing an undeniable

the paintings, a projected composition based of found 8mm footages turn
decay and memory into an abstract artistic language.

The second part of the launch will feature performances curated by
performance artist Jack Ferver whose
