Upcoming Interview in Tattoos for Men


I just had to share this quote from Joy Surles, editor at Art & Ink and Outlaw Biker Publications. She emailed to interview me for their magazine Tattoos for Men after finding the fire bowls through a mention on Hugh's blog (thanks, Hugh!). When she saw some of the other work I do, she wrote back and said:

Oooh! Your stuff is awesome! I'm doing that dance like I used to do in the toy store with my mother...that up and down, hardly able to breathe, make-my-mama-slap-me dance! Our readers will love your stuff!

Fun! The interview will be in either the next issue or the one immediately following, not sure.

The same week, I sold one of my American Guernica photos to Cambridge University Press for an upcoming textbook on art to be published in Australia. You gotta love the diversity of audience there! More details on the book when it goes to print.

There's also an article in the current issue of Chicago Home Improvement Magazine that devoted a page to my fences and gates. The print version featured a couple of photos and a nice block quote, but online you'll have to scroll down and look for the text under the heading Decorative fences and gates. I've got a stack of recent press clippings that I'll post soon.

In the mean time, there's a ton of new art I'd like to post, as well as some great photos that people have sent in showing the Great Bowl O Fire in a variety of cool settings. But I've been so busy with fire bowls, art and code that I haven't had a chance to blog at all lately. I'm thinking I'll have to schedule a bit of a vacation soon, and hopefully get some of this stuff posted then.

Do you have questions or comments?

About John

John T. Unger If my job as an artist is to fill the world with "more things," I feel it is equally important that I reclaim materials from the waste stream to make space for my work. — John T. Unger

I believe creative re-use has the potential to spark new ways of looking at the world… if one thing can be turned into another, what else can we change? Successful recycled art encourages creativity in others— it's alchemical, magical, subversive, and transformative by nature. Read On
