    Von Zos - Peter by Nomi Chi

    Earlier this month (that calendar area around Valentine’s Day is really a blur..) I had a little hand helping and cutting the release of Nomi Chi’s first art multiple through Von Zos.

    The illustrated piece is comprised of a free-standing cut-out figure on 24pt card stock. It stands approximately 10” in height and has so many intricately cut holes that it has an almost organic lace quality to it.

    Peter is a signed edition of 25 and can be purchased at the Von Zos website before it sells out… if it already hasn’t!

    Nomi Chi is a wonderful illustrator, artist and tattooist based out of Vancouver, BC Canada. I love all the nostalgic themes in her work.

    You can check out more of her process and tattoo work on le twitter here and le instagram here.

    Welp - I’m keeping this one in my quick access memory bank whenever life bums / stresses me out… because it is awesome . This weekend I got a small little note from Annie with the photo above. She got herself a Miss Suzy inked on her body - and she looks gorgeous! I am truly flattered that one of my tattooed paper puppet dolls now has a permanent tattooed home on someone (there is a möbius strip of glory in that statement somewhere). Very important note* Tattoo work is by Michelle Tarantelli at Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn, NY - a super great shop which I should prob stop by before I leave NYC in the winter.

    I get a kick out of Crankbunny paper puppet sightings in real life. The above photo is Miss Suzy spotted at High Street Tattoo in Columbus, Ohio. I know there have been a few folks from shops that have ordered dolls from the Victorian Tattooed folks series - but it is super neat to see how people have displayed them in the shops or at their stations. High Street Tattoo 872 North High Street Columbus, OH 43215 (614) 294-8888 ** I also know Sir Kyle is on display at Thicker Than Water in NYC at Mike’s station because he’s tattooed me in the past. Sir Craig is on display at Graceland in Brooklyn too (along with an Elvis paper doll I made especially for the shop after they opened as a gift)…. damn. ***MENTAL NOTE*** Get more photos of paper puppet sightings!

    Both shops are back open! Thanks to everyone who cleaned it out a week before Valentine’s day — hope everyone got some great hugs and love with their Crankbunny goodies! Been able to do inventory and most of all the Crankbunny cards / paper puppets are back on sale (though a little low on certain items - eeek - time to call up my printers!)

    On another fun note!
    The fine folks at Tattoo Savage magazine gave a page feature to a few of my Victorian Tattooed Paper Puppet Dolls in the Feb (April 2012) edition. The magazine is out now and I was able to do a spotting at my local newsstand which was a neat surprise!
