Live from Baby Tattooville -- Day 1

Baby Tattooville, a limited-edition art retreat, begun Friday at the historic Mission Inn in Riverside, CA.  Set in what can only be described as a breathtaking  one-of-a-kind venue with discoveries around every twist and turn, the weekend event features a strong roster of artists  --  Gary Baseman, Tim Biskup,  Luke Chueh,  Gris Grimly, James Jean,  Frank Kozik, Lola, Tara McPherson,  Ragnar, Jeffery Scott,  Jeff Soto and Amanda Visell.

Guests checked into their rooms to find a box full of Baby Tattoo's recent book releases. At guest registration, attendees received a special Baby Tattooville print by Amanda Visell with a blank stomach for personal customization.  At the welcome reception, Bob Self -- the founder of Baby Tattoo, introduced each artist and officially kicked off the Artist Jam.  Over roughly 24 hours, the BT artists will collaborate on a canvas piece which will then be captured and turned into a giclee print between Saturday night and Sunday morning. 

The first night of Baby Tattooville continued into the wee hours with three ongoing events -- James Jean's life drawing session, a demo of Jeffery Scott's unique digital manipulation photo art technique, and an opportunity to watch Lola work on paintings for her upcoming Copro Nason show.
