Tommy Helm


Tommy Helm is one of my favorite tattoo artists. (More info here: http://empirestatestudios.com/our-team/tommy-helm/) I love the concepts of tattoos. The fact that you are putting so much faith in an artist and are so in love with their work that you are willing to permanently put it into your skin. With Tommy everything is so well thought out that he is able to pull off anything. He has no forte, he just simply makes great tattoos. Tommy has won Ink Master season 1 and has his own show, Tattoo Nightmares, both on spike (TV channel). He also has great finesse, being able to do cover up tattoos. Cover-ups are hard to do, due to the fact that you are going over a tattoo that is already there. A tattoo that has some horrible reason to be covered up. The fact that he can replace something that brings so much pain to someone with something so beautiful is awesome. He can tell stories in his ink. All he needs is a tattoo machine and some ink. He will bring life to the tattoos.

Last Blog Post

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Speed Painting

This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Bye For Now DMA

      Well since I'm a senior, then this is probably going to be my last blog post. Next year, I am going to do the Digital Design program at the Warren County Career Center for college credit, so I'm still going to do some DMA stuff after graduation. It's been very cool to be making cool stuff here and I'll miss you guys and I know your going to miss me and my dog Max.
