The Big Reveal

AWR PDX — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 04:53:00 +0000

We told you big things were in store for 2012, and we’ve had this under wraps for quite a bit! We’ve had a crew in the shop for quite a bit filming for the next big show in the Ink series. That’s right folks, the crew here at Art Work Rebels will be making their debut on the small screen in the near future, and we want everyone to keep an eye out for the show’s big premier on TLC. Can’t say when it is just yet, but we’ve been given the all clear for the big reveal. You heard it here first folks, Portland Ink is on the way. In the images above you can see all the hustle and bustle we’ve had goin on the shop for a bit.

New Portfolios Coming Soon

AWR PDX — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:43:00 +0000

Last week was one of many old friends & clients. We had Sung & Julian from Unbreakable, as well as Doug (Rebel8/Ex-Terror Guitarist) & our web guy; Gary from Studio4Nine. Having Gary in the shop put the grease in the wheel for the guys to get their new portfolios together, so hang in there folks- The website will be looking fresh real soon!

Friends from Unbreakable

AWR PDX — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 04:26:27 +0000

This week we had some friends from Unbreakable Tattoo, Sung and Julian, stopped by to get some back work from Jason. Sung chipped chipped away at his a bit more, and Julian was lucky enough to to start a nice new fresh backpiece from Jason. It was great having them in the shop, and if you’re ever in LA make sure to check out Unbreakable and get some work done. For any of you questioning the tenderness of Mr. Kundell, take a peek at the pictures above to see how delicately Jason cradles your most sensitive areas. We here at Art Work Rebels are just as concerned with the quality of our work, as we are the comfort of our clients.

All of our guys’ paintings for the Year of The Dragon show at Seventh Son are done and shipped on down to SF, and everyone’s back to eating delicious sandwiches from Chop & making tattoos.

Jeff took a much deserved holiday vacation, and had to focus on his painting for the Year of the Dragon show upon arriving back in Portland, but now he’s back to his usual business of cranking out sweet traditional tattoos.

Art Work Rebels Shop Tour
Jason has been training with the guys at Nemesis Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for awhile now, and made friends out of many of his training partners. A lot of the guys over there also have become excellent clients for the shop as well. Recently, Ricky & Eric made this little video tour of Art Work Rebels. If you haven’t been able to stop in, and see the shop since it opened; check it out! Thanks again to all the folks at Nemesis.

Prickly Rose, Bald Eagle, Pants Off

AWR PDX — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 08:44:24 +0000

Things around the shop have been business as usual. Joel whipped out a rose to fill up a little space on an arm, and Jason finished up this epic eagle cover-up piece. Jeff P. was lucky enough to stick it to the boss Saturday night and got to fill up a bit of what little space Jason has left. Rest assured, no lewd jokes were made while the Boss’s pants were down.

If you’re in/around the Bay Area you should make a trip down to their shop and check out all of the amazing art that they’ll be showing. A host of awesome artists have sent in pieces to Seventh Son, that includes all the artists here at Art Work Rebels, and it’s going to be a really great time. Check out the flier above this post to see the list of artists that will have pieces at Year of the Dragon. Also included, a pic of Jeff doing a head tattoo, unrelated to Year of the Dragon.
