The anchors worked great. I tightened the "bolt" further into the anchor so that when it was loosened, only the toggle bolts came off.

DiDio & Lee Says DC Will Take the Time to Do "Watchmen"/Rebirth Story 'Right'
Comic Books
As I announced on Friday, this Saturday, in celebration of the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA), we're co-hosting a party in New York City with my pal Joe Rice and his blog, Here Comes a Regular.
Here is the flyer…
Be sure to stop by!
I wish I could make it! I've got to leave the City early Saturday and will only make a little of the show, but with a little luck I'll cross path with some folks on my way upstate.
Wish i was back there
I'm sure that it will be fun. Sadly, I am on the wrong side of the country to make it.
I judge each and every one of you. HARSHLY.
Sorry would be there but I'm on the other side of the world.
@Joe – Eh, you don't want to have drinks with me that night anyway. It's the 25th anniversary of the death of one of my (profoundly alcoholic) heroes. I'll likely be depressing.
Comics Should Be Good accepts review copies. Anything sent to us will (for better or for worse) end up reviewed on the blog. See where to send the review copies.

50 First Dates (2004)
Enjoyable but somewhat schizophrenic (minor spoilers)
The trouble with this movie is that it can't quite decide what kind of film it wants to be. At the beginning, it plays like a not very funny slapstick comedy in "National Lampoon's Animal House" style, as one might expect from Rob Schneider's presence in the cast. If you can get past this (my wife gave up on it after ten minutes), the movie gradually transforms itself into a sensitive romance, albeit one on which the low comedy elements continue to intrude.
The problem is that the two elements don't gel well together, so that all the stuff about walrus vomit and wet dreams and the aquarium assistant of uncertain gender seem grafted uneasily on to what is in essence a bittersweet romance, undermining the tenderness of the love story. However Drew Barrymore is charming, the Hawaiian scenery is beautiful, and without giving too much of the plot away, the ending is genuinely touching, and leaves the viewer with a good feeling.
Boatman (1985)
Social Comment vs. Erotica (possible spoiler)
Along the lines of Lino Brocka's better known "Macho Dancer", this is a Filipino melodrama of an innocent country boy (the eponymous Boatman) who ends up in the flesh trade in big city Manila as the male half of a live sex show. While clearly seeking to condemn the social conditions that push poor people into such work, the director appears to be trying to have it both ways by making the sex show scenes attractively erotic, with good camera-work aided by the undeniable beauty of the female co-star.
I won't give away the ending, but suffice it to say that the poor in the Philippines rarely come out on top.
Mou gaan dou III: Jung gik mou gaan (2003)
A brilliant sequel, but see Part 1 first to understand it
Infernal Affairs 3 builds cleverly on the plotline of the first movie, but with its complex story and frequent switches between past and present, is likely to seriously confuse anyone who comes to it without having seen Part 1 first to understand the two main characters. For those who have, this film brings out further details of the relationship between the two, superbly played again by Tony Leung and Andy Lau. With frequent flashbacks, the film focuses on extending the story of Triad mole Ming (Andy Lau), warping up the tension as the stresses of his double life become intolerable. Leon Lai's usual expressionless performance, which mars his other films, works well here as it leaves you few clues about his character's motivation until the climax.
If you enjoyed Part 1, you will enjoy this. (I haven't seen Part 2 yet.)
The Pillow Book (1996)
Interesting, but too calculated to be truly erotic
Like many of Peter Greenaway's movies, Pillow Book features extensive nudity. However, while the plot development is well worked out, the cast is competent, and Greenaway shows off a dazzling array of cinematic techniques, he always seems to approach his material too intellectually to really engage the viewer's emotions. I cannot know his intentions, but my impression is that he regards his scripts as more akin to a complex mathematical puzzle to be worked out than a story about real people with human feelings, leaving the movie worth watching but curiously cool and clinical rather than passionately erotic.
Rikky and Pete (1988)
A wonderful supporting performance by Tetchie Agbayani
Hollywood has never known what to do with Asian actresses. It took an Australian woman director to bring out the full potential of the lovely Tetchie Agbayani as Pete's girlfriend in this gentle Aussie comedy. The scene where she is negotiating to get a rise out of her boss (double entendre intended) shows her to be a highly talented comic actress.
I actually saw the film because of Tetchie's participation in it, and was pleasantly surprised by the movie as a whole. It delivers quiet chuckles rather than belly laughs, but leaves you feeling good. It deserves to be more widely appreciated.
Extremes (1971)
A sensationalised but occasionally interesting documentary
I assume from the title and timing (IMDB gives few other details) that this is the same "Extremes" I remember seeing in the early 70s. If so, it is a rather tacky documentary in the Mondo Cane tradition. I saw it for the scenes of the 1970 Isle of Wight festival, which I attended, but they were presented along the lines of "look at the naked hippies doing funny things". Nothing else in the film has stuck in my memory. Not worth spending much time on.
Glastonbury the Movie (1995)
OK, but the earlier Glastonbury movie was better
The annual Glastonbury Festival has been a British institution for over 30 years. This movie captures the spirit of the festival in the 1990s, but the earlier movie "Glastonbury Fayre", featuring the 2nd festival in 1971, appeals more to me, both for its mood (somehow more innocent than the 90s version) and the music. However I may be biased, as I was there and appear on the edge of the screen for about one second! Also the music of the late 60s and early 70s is more to my taste than the performers in the later movie, so don't let me put you off the later one if you don't share my tastes. Both movies, like "Woodstock", focus on the audience and the happenings around the grounds as well as on the music.
For some reason, Glastonbury Fayre seems to have slipped into obscurity since its original theatrical release. It was briefly released on VHS in the UK a few years ago, and I believe got one TV showing. It would be nice if someone could resurrect it on DVD.

This probiotic definately works. 'Good bacteria' arrived live and active. I experienced positive changes just after taking first capsule: less bloating, overall improvement in digestion Probiotics of Bifidum group should help with constipation,Lactobacillus rhamnosus will relieve symptoms of urogenital yeast infections My adivice is to take 1 capsule 30-6o minutes before breakfast on empty stomach, avoid hot drinks. It has 7 billions of 8 different strains in each 1 capsule so one a day should be enough. However, you can increase to 2-3 capsules a day if you are taking antibiotics. Allow 2-3 hours between taking antibiotics and probiotics. Another good point- capsules are relatively small and easy to swallow so you don't need to break a capsule which prevents 'good bacteria' from being destroyed by bile and gastric juices. Very young children should take 1 capsule every other day. And finally, include in your diet fermented foods such as sourkraut, kefir,yogurts to help maintain healthy balance of beneficial bacteria that you received after taking this probiotic supplement
Perhaps this will explain why this one seems to be as effective as others we have tried: Our local hospital analysed a selection of probiotics selected from local stores. Amazingly 2 of them had absolutely no living probiotics in them and ALL of the rest of them had extremely small %'s of probiotics: instead of 16Billion, only 70 million! None of the companies had anywhere ne4ar the advertised potency.
My third purchase
Posted by 5297974691645555884 on Jul 04, 2016
Great probiotics! My third purchase. I think it really helped me a lot with my constipation issue. I consistently used this and I ended up going to the toilet more frequently than ever. Seemed a little shocking for me at first. But I guess it works! Will purchase it again when i'm out of stock. Best part? It is not that expensive compared to other probiotics! The label didn't specifically say store it refrigerated, but I still do.

from 5 diffrent till now, this one is the best.
Seems good
Posted by 5000311664920190683 on Jun 20, 2016
This seems like a good probiotic. I have tried several, but as I don't have digestive problems and only use it as a preventive, I cannot say exactly what it is doing in my body. I chose this one for now as it was a lower price than the one I bought last month. I appreciate iHerb's prices and great choice of products that I don't have to travel from store to store to find - if I could even find some of them. Thanks to iHerb for doing such a good job and also for such fantastic shipping rates and delivery times.

Inventors Need to Grapple with Developing...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Firm will have to pay further fees if it fails to meet deadlines. [© Andrei Merkulov - Fotolia.com]
Genzyme signed a consent decree agreeing to correct manufacturing quality violations at its Allston Landing, MA, manufacturing facility. Genzyme will have to turn over to the federal government $175 million in unlawful profits from the sale of products that were made at the plant, FDA reports. The company will have to adhere to a strict timetable to bring the plant in line with FDA's regulatory requirements.
In June 2009, Genzyme reported that it had identified a virus in one of six bioreactors at its Allston Landing plant. It thus stopped production at the facility, which affected four products: Cerezyme for Gaucher disease, Fabrazyme for Fabry disease, Thyrogen for the diagnosis of thyroid cancer, and Myozyme for Pompe disease. Drug shortages were further impacted when FDA officials, during an inspection of the Allston plant from October 8, 2009, to November 13, 2009, found that the company's systems for ensuring manufacturing quality were inadequate resulting in production delays, critical shortages of medically necessary products to consumers, and drugs contaminated with metal, fiber, rubber, and glass particles.
The consent decree is subject to approval by the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Genzyme has agreed to begin facility improvements by selecting, within 10 days of entry of the decree by the court, an independent expert who will inspect the plant and issue recommendations. Genzyme will use the expert's recommendations to create a work plan, subject to FDA approval, that requires specific steps for bringing its Allston plant into compliance within given dates. If Genzyme fails to complete any step specified in the work plan, the company will have to pay a substantial fine, according to the FDA.
In addition, the consent decree provides a deadline for Genzyme to transfer its operations for filling drug vials from its Allston facility to other manufacturing sites or else it will have to disgorge further profits from the sales of drugs filled at Allston after that specific date.
The company will continue to ship Cerezyme and Fabrazyme, which are manufactured, filled, and finished in Allston, as well as Thyrogen, which is filled and finished at the plant. The consent decree requires Genzyme to move fill/finish operations out of the Allston plant for Cerezyme, Fabrazyme, and Thyrogen sold within the U.S. by November 28 and for products sold outside of the country, by August 31, 2011. Should Genzyme not be able to meet these deadlines, FDA can require the company to disgorge 18.5% of revenue for these products.
In the U.S., distribution of Thyrogen will be based on medical necessity until the product is filled and finished at another facility. The FDA has developed a Dear Healthcare Provider letter describing the patients for whom the agency considers Thyrogen to be medically necessary. This letter will be included in shipments of Thyrogen that are filled and finished in Allston.
Genzyme reports that it has begun to utilize excess capacity at its facility in Waterford, Ireland, where it currently fills 80% of Cerezyme. Last week the company received regulatory approval to fill and finish Myozyme produced at the 160 L scale at the facility in Waterford and will no longer be conducting fill/finish operations for Myozyme in Allston. Additionally, Genzyme says that it has begun the process of transferring all remaining filling activities from Allston to an existing contract manufacturer.
Last year Genzyme began implementation of a remediation plan to improve quality and compliance at the Allston facility. This plan was submitted to the FDA in October 2009. Under the terms of the consent decree, a plan to complete the remediation will be drafted by Genzyme with the assistance of its current third-party consultant, Quantic. The draft will be submitted to the FDA for approval and will include ongoing oversight from Quantic.
Genzyme expects that the remediation plan will require approximately 2–3 years to complete, with milestones throughout this period. If remediation actions are not complete by these milestones, FDA can require Genzyme to pay $15,000 per day, per affected drug, until these compliance milestones are met. Once the remediation plan is fully completed, FDA will require five years of oversight and annual reports submitted by Quantic.
"We continue to make significant progress both to improve manufacturing and quality systems in Allston and transfer fill/finish activities to other locations, working as expeditiously as possible through the regulatory pathways globally," says Genzyme's chairman and CEO, Henri A. Termeer.
Genzyme is currently shipping Cerezyme at approximately 50% of demand and Fabrazyme at approximately 30% of demand. Genzyme plans to provide a more detailed assessment of supply for both Fabrazyme and Cerezyme in June, which will factor in the impact, if any, of the consent decree on product release times.
Genzyme is also assessing the impact of several factors on its total financial guidance for 2010, including the company's decision to pursue strategic alternatives for three of its businesses, ongoing expense reduction measures, the $2 billion share buyback, the impact of foreign exchange rates, and the supply of Cerezyme and Fabrazyme. Genzyme continues to expect to exit the fourth quarter at a non-GAAP EPS rate of $1.00 per share.
Earlier this month, Genzyme said that it is looking to sell, spin-out, or facilitate a management buy-out of its genetic testing, diagnostic products, and pharmaceutical intermediates businesses. Besides bolstering the firms growth, the decision was also likely made to stall Carl Icahn's recent proxy challenge.
The virus strain that was found in one of the bioreactors, Vesivirus 2117, has not been shown to cause human infection, according to Genzyme. It is known to interfere with the growth of CHO cells, and the firm believes that it was introduced through a nutrient used in the production process. Genzyme notes that it was the cause of declines in cell productivity at its Allston and Geel, Belgium, facilities during 2008. The 185,000-sq-ft facility at Allston has a manufacturing capacity of 12,000 liters.

By: Suzanne Golden, M.S., CCC-SLPThis week we met some friends at the Childrens Museum in Easton. It was a bit of a drive for us from Plymouth, but well worth it for a few hours of fun!The Childrens Museum in Easton is housed in an old firehouse, which means the inside and outside have some pretty cool features! Inside the museum there are three floors full of kid-friendly activities, including a Fire Pole the kids can climb up! Outside there is a fenced in picnic area with sculptures and other interesting things to explore. One of my favorite things about this museum is that most of their activities really promote being creative, exploring and using language!Here are some ways exploring at the childrens museum helps to promote language development:· Spend some time in the various pretend play areas: rocket ship, train, stage with dress up clothes, kitchen area, fire truck, dinosaur room, doctors office. These pretend play situations can open your child up to a variety of vocabulary that may be new to him/her. Model language for your child and then allow him/her to take the lead and you can expand on whatever language/pretend play scripts he/she creates!· Check out the rolling ball mazes. These mazes allow the child to drop a ball at the top and watch it make its way to the bottom. The ball maze on the bottom floor has pieces that can be moved so your child can explore different pathways. This activity opens the door for a variety of language about location, size and problem solving.· Make new friends! A museum full of other children and parents is a great place to make new friends. Encourage your childs social/pragmatic language skills by encouraging him/her to introduce him/herself to a new friend and engage in play with him/her.If the Childrens Museum in Easton is too far of a drive, check out the Cape CodChildrens Museum, located in Mashpee. Although we didnt go to the Cape Cod Childrens Museum this time, we have been there before and love exploring all of the various areas it has to offer!I hope you take advantage of one of these great Childrens Museum and enjoy the rest of your summer, while also building speech/language skills!For more information about the Childrens Museum in Easton, visit:http://www.childrensmuseumineaston.org/home0.aspxFor more information about the Cape Cod Childrens Museum, visit: http://capecodchildrensmuseum.org/To schedule a screening or assessment please contact Golden Speech Therapy today. www.goldenspeechtherapy.comGolden Speech TherapySuzanne Golden, M.S., CCC-SLPContact Info:781-603-8529www.goldenspeechtherapy.comwww.facebook.com/goldenspeechtherapy

Lit: A Memoir (Large Print / Paperback)
November 2009 Indie Next List
"Once you've read Mary Karr's The Liar's Club, how can you not read her latest to find out how it turns out? This fine American writer continues her journey through college, marriage, and young motherhood, offering her hard-won experience in recovery from depression and alcoholism."
— Andy Lillich, University of Oregon Bookstore, Eugene, OR
Mary Karr's bestselling, unforgettable sequel to her beloved memoirs The Liars Club and Cherry and one of the most critically acclaimed books of the year Lit is about getting drunk and getting sober; becoming a mother by letting go of a mother; learning to write by learning to live.
The Boston Globe calls Lit a book that reminds us not only how compelling personal stories can be, but how, in the hands of a master, they can transmute into the highest art." The New York Times Book Review calls it a master class on the art of the memoir in its Top 10 Books of 2009 Citation. Michiko Kakutani calls it a book that lassos you, hogties your emotions and won t let you go in her New York Times review. And Susan Cheever states, simply, that Lit is the best book about being a woman in America I have read in years."
In addition to the New York Times, Lit was named a Best Book of 2009 by the New Yorker (Reviewer Favorite), Entertainment Weekly (Top 10), Time (Top 10), the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Chicago Tribune, the Christian Science Monitor, Slate, the St. Louis Post Dispatch, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and the Seattle Times.
About the Author
Mary Karr is the author of three award-winning, bestselling memoirs: The Liars Club, which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award; Cherry, which was selected as a notable book by book reviews nationwide; and Lit, which was one of the New York Times Book Review s Ten Best Books of the Year (and made virtually every other Best of the Year list) and a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist. A Guggenheim Fellow in poetry, Karr has won Pushcart Prizes for both verse and essays. She is the Peck Professor of Literature at Syracuse University.

i don't know how i missed the update in aug @.@ really nice children book stuff
how did you get into children book stuff? just curious how it works.
dude you have crazy clean linework. @.@
i can't wait for page 5 to be overburdened with your stuff =P
that last one is my favorite so far! i feel like you did the whole thing in just a couple of brushstrokes. i'm diggin the limited color.
i love the design proj! real nice shapes :D
nice portraits! i think you could start in a less sat color tho. like i understand the red but maybe tone it down a little more.
colored light bulbs! omg you're a genius! i didn't even think of that =P
good stuff...moar! yeah still lifes that are in natural light are killerrrrrrrrr, i think you saw the one i did a while...
a lot better! congrats again.
that figure is just killing the painting though! i think either it's too complicated looking or it's too centered or something....it just throws the mood off.
nice structure in your studies. more color stuff! tho i guess it's harder without your main hand!
thanks guys, yeah the legs were off but i was too lazy to fix it after drawing all the stuff in. >.<
ok, no massive update....too lazy to scan in everything! it will have to come some other day i...
try something matte next time....it's driving me insane hehe for life studies >.< you seem to be on a roll, maybe you can share some tips hehehe
anyways don't be discouraged by your flower thing,...
the rocks don't really have a good sense of form in the foreground. the colors are great though. i'm just pushing you to do better ^^
gasp! what is this announcement? i'm not going to kill you...
@ben: well, there will be a focal point (a poster), that was just the large cleaner redraw of my interior...i had to throw a quick "light" over it to show to my teacher hehe.
so i got...
hmm the edges are a bit too sharp on the flowers. also the leaves are looking a little floppy. i mean they probably are floppy but maybe throw a little more structure into a few of them.
thanks guys
too lazy to scan anything at the moment...
redrew the interior at a larger size, trying to find some graphic shapes and then i will print it out this scan and tone it....
hahaha i like the guy who's caught on the mech :D
dragon is cool....but either crop it or work on the chest down :D
i have to know, did you actually paint in the photoshop menus?
base of that monitor is great!
the last guy doesn't quite look like he's standing quite flat. or maybe he's not supposed to be, it's a bit vague.
also his right hand holding the weapon looks really awkward at that position.
i haven't seen the photo but watch the highlights on the hair and the shadow under the chin. they both seem a bit too grey in color or pure white and even if you are copying a photo, it never hurts...
hmm yeah a lot of your paintings are quite saturated (which i prefer) but perhaps doing the beginning in a greyer color will add more contrasts between the sat/nonsat areas. i have noooo knowledge...
i think overall the face has the right structure but the wrong colors.
nice studies and sketches!
niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice painting :D great colors!
i'm sure you already said this (sorry!) but how long do things like the lemon and leaf take you?
i think the lemon needs a little more dark variation on the rind...but i'm sure its all very subtle...
sorry about your grandpa, my grandma just passed away this week as well. :(
did you use ref for that last pic? cuz if you didn't....shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiet man you're doing good! and it's not...
her arms are too wobbly with the lines. when you try to draw a cute char like this one usually fuller characters look better so there isn't too much definition. and her left arm (our right) is crazy...

Product Description
These half-hour black and white episodes (the show expanded to an hour format in its seventh season) deliver traditional Western action, but at the heart of Gunsmoke are its character-based human dramas. An excellent example is "Gone Straight," featuring Carl Betz (The Donna Reed Show) as a man who answers the description of a wanted outlaw, but who is now an upstanding citizen trying to help another man (Tige Andrews of The Mod Squad) reform. Some episodes play out in unexpected ways that defy convention. We can pretty much guess the fate of an old friend who insists on helping Matt in "The Round-Up," but we can't predict at whose hand.
Gunsmoke was directed by sure Western hands, including Andrew McLaglan, Ted Post, and Christian Nyby. Several episodes were written by Sam Peckinpah, including "The Round-Up" and "Legal Revenge," featuring a young Cloris Leachman as a woman who appears to have it in for her wounded husband. Several episodes address social issues such as racism ("Sins of the Fathers" featuring Angie Dickinson as the daughter of a marauding Indian chief) and gun culture (the powerful "don't take your guns to town" episode, "Young Man with a Gun"). Along with Matt Dillon, the rest of Gunsmoke's characters became archetypes: "Mr. Dillon's" drawling, bum-legged deputy, Chester (Dennis Weaver), ornery Doc (Milburn Stone), and saloon gal, Miss Kitty (Amanda Blake), who, by the way, looks quite fetching in a riding outfit. An interesting bonus are the show's sponsor shots for LM cigarettes. "See you next week," Arness puffs. "In the meantime, light up." --Donald Liebenson

Hi, rifraf.
Thanks for the additional pictures. After a couple of months, I'm starting to experience more creaks and rattles on my Ogre, I think are due to the fenders. I'll look at adding more mounting points of the fenders to the front and rear racks, like what you have done. I was wondering if the single set of fender stays would be adequate on these, as all my other fenders in the past have had two sets of stays per fender.
Thanks again!

Printed health education materials frequently consist of mass-produced brochures, booklets, or pamphlets designed for a general population audience. Although this one-size-fits-all approach might be appropriate under certain circumstances and even produce small changes at relatively modest costs, it cannot address the unique needs, interests, and concerns of different individuals. With the advent and dissemination of new communication technologies, our ability to collect information from individuals and provide feedback tailored to the specific information cellected is not only possible, but practical. The purpose of this article is to: (a) distinguish between tailored print communication and other common communication-based approaches to health education and behavior change; (b) present a theoretical and public health rationale for tailoring health information; and (c) describe the steps involved in creating and deliverin tailored print communication programs. Studies suggest computer tailoring is a promising strategy for health education and behavior change. Practitioners and researchers should understand the approach and consider the possibilities it presents for enhancing their work in disease prevention.

I have two hosts, A and B. Host A hosts services on port 8080 and has outbound internet firewall rules allowing port 80 and 443 access to Host C.
Host B is on the same subnet as Host A. Host B is blocked from reaching internet Host C. Host A, however, has outbound rules on an external firewall that allows port 80 and 443 outbound to Host C.
Host B runs a software client with hardcoded URLS to download from Host A (http port 8080), and Host C (http port 80). Again, Host B is blocked from reaching Host C via firewall. The client on Host B does not support SOCKS or any other proxy capability. The only way I can possibly reach Host C:80 is by redirecting or tunneling via Host A.
I have root access to Host A and Host B. How can Host B reach Host C via Host A on port 80?
Why does this not work on host B?
ssh -L 80:hostC:80 root@hostA -N
I've enabled AllowTCPForwarding and GatewayPorts on Host A. Is right for this or is there an iptables trick that I can use?

A week after Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast, some Rolla residents are wondering what they can do to help. The Rotary Club of Rolla has an answer for you.
Give blood.
According to the American Red Cross, Hurricane Sandy forced the cancellation of more than 100 American Red Cross blood drives in 11 states along the East Coast, and thousands of blood and platelet donors have been unable to keep their appointments to give.
Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. An average of 44,000 blood donations are needed each and every day across the country to help treat accident victims, cancer patients, and children with blood disorders. These patients and others rely on blood products during their treatment. This need does not diminish when disaster strikes.
The Rotary Club of Rolla will have a blood drive at The Centre from 2-6:15 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9. Walk-ins are encouraged.
You can also make a contribution to disaster relief at redcross.org, by calling 1-800-RED CROSS or by texting the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

I want to pass the id of the parent category to a for each loop. When I pass the result manually and fill this in, then the for each loop works. However when I pass the variable $qi to the for each loop, then I just get a result for the first ID? The relevant part of the code is marked with a comment.
I still have to the combine double ids', but I would like the for each loop to work first.
$categories = get_categories();
foreach ($categories as $category) {
$tests = array($category->category_parent);
foreach ($tests as $trys) {
$groups[] = $trys;
$qi = implode(', ', $groups);
$qi = str_replace('0,','',$qi); // remove the 0 id
// result parent category ids' as 1,1,2,2,2 . Tested with echo $qi and the result is just that.
$display_categories = array($qi);$i = 1; // This is the problem area. It accepts 1,2,2,1,1 manually, but with the variable $qi it just picks the first number?
foreach ($display_categories as $category) { ?>
<div id="fr_cat-<?php echo $i; ?>" class="fr_cat_nav">
<?php query_posts("showposts=1&cat=$category")?>
// Do stuff e.g. <?php echo get_category_link($category);?>
<?php $i++; ?>
<?php } ?>
Anybody have a take on what could be going wrong?

Program Description
The Migrant Education Program (MEP) is a federally funded, state-operated program under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) that provides supplemental program services to the children, ages 3 through 21, of seasonal or temporary agricultural workers. In Arizona, the program delivers services primarily through local educational agencies (LEAS) that design programs to meet the unserved needs of children residing in their area. To facilitate broader services, some provisions are delivered through statewide models which, in particular, are designed to meet the credit accrual and informational needs for students.

G'day all.
I am getting someone trying to post one word comments to the same blog message on my blog (all comments on my blog have to be approved so are all marked as spam). I have done a whois search, they originally came from the RIPE network in Amsterdam, but are now coming from other Asian hosting networks. All the ip's are different so blocking an individual ip is not an option. I guess that someone is running a bot.
What can I do to stop this?
Can I turn off comments (and if so, I can't find where)?

Brighton Tattoo Convention is over for another year and what a great edition that was. A huge thank you to everyone who came out this bank holiday weekend, to all the artists that made the convention so great, and all the people who got tattooed, bought a print or simply enjoyed the show. Keep an eye out for pictures we'll be sharing, and more post show updates. We will soon be releasing the dates for our next edition… it's gonna be a big one as we celebrate the 10th edition of the Brighton Tattoo Convention. Sign up to our mailing list below to keep up to date with all announcements!
This year the Brighton Tattoo Convention has moved to the Brighton Centre, in the heart of the city, right on the seafront. The full address is: Brighton Centre, Kings Road, Brighton, BN1 2GR. See full info on getting to the convention below.
By Train:
If you are coming by train, head to Brighton national rail station, and the Brighton Centre is roughly a 10 minute walk. When you exit the station, walk directly towards the sea front on West Street, past the Queen's Head pub until you get to the sea front. Turn right, and the Brighton Centre is the building after The Odeon cinema.
By Car:
From London and the North the easiest way to get to Brighton is to connect via the M25 London orbital motorway. The Brighton Centre is about 45 minutes once you leave the M25; leave the M25 at junction 7 southbound onto the M23, which later becomes A23 directly into Brighton. The road will continue through the City straight to Brighton Seafront where the Brighton Centre is located.
Brighton and its closest neighbours to the East and West are linked via the A27. This is the easiest route to Brighton from both directions. Leave the A27 via the A23 ramp (signposted Brighton), take the 3rd exit on the first roundabout and 1st exit on the second roundabout, this will join you onto the A23 / London Road directly into Brighton. The road will continue through the City straight to Brighton Seafront where the Brighton Centre is located.
Unfortunately there isn't parking at The Brighton Centre – check out full parking info for the area here.
By Taxi
Taxis that you can hail are easily identifiable in Brighton, due to their aqua and white paint. They can be booked in advance or can be picked up from the various ranks around the City, the closest to the Brighton Centre is at the bottom of West Street outside the Odeon Cinema.
Local Taxi companies include:
Radio Cabs – 01273 204060 / 01273 414141
Streamline – 01273 202020 / 01273 747474
City Cabs – 01273 205205
By Bus
If you are getting a bus into Brighton, most buses stop nearby at Churchill Square shopping centre. Directions from Churchill Square to the Brighton Centre: when exiting the bus you need to head east, if Churchill Square is in front of you, turn left and if behind you turn right, towards the Clock Tower. When you reach the Clock Tower turn right and head down West Street, until you get to the seafront. The Brighton Centre is to the right and less than a minute walk and is situated on Kings Road.
All our events during the weekend will be in the local area, check out the events page for full details.
Neil Dransfield – Artist Spotlight
Neil Dransfield is a Leeds based tattoo artist with a penchant for the dark stuff. Working out of his shop, Oddfellows, Neil's work has shifted back to his awesome, original, black surreal style that you can spot a mile off. We grabbed 5 minutes with him to ask him a little bit more about his work, and what we can expect to see from him at the convention…
BTC: So, how long have you been tattooing for Neil?
ND: Erm I have no idea! I've totally lost track of time! Maybe like 7 or 8 years at a guess?
You can find me working at Oddfellows. Me and Tom Flannigan opened the studio about 4 years ago I think it was now.
BTC: So how has Oddfellows progressed in those 4 years?
ND: So there were 3 of us that owned it, and we've gone to 4 or 5 guys working with us now, and everybody specialising in doing something a bit different. I think this is the 4th or 5th years we've done Brighton now, and there's me, Adam Cornish and Michael Gibson coming down.
BTC: What are your thoughts on Brighton?
ND: I love Brighton! I love that they've changed the time of the year for the convention now, I love the place itself, and now the convention is in April, because last time it was horrible…
BTC: Won't you miss the sideways rain?!
ND: No! I was trying to carry my bed and I was blown across the road! And I'm quite looking forward to a new venue. I quite liked the Hilton as well, but it's a good idea, a fresh change for everybody.
BTC: Will you be selling prints at the convention?
ND: Hopefully! Yeah, if I can get some more painting down then I'll be selling prints, if I can find time to do some more work, I still need to do all the drawing for my flash. Everything's always last minute!
BTC: Are you doing walk-ups or pre-books?
ND: I've already pre-booked the Saturday, but the Sunday will be Walk-ups and if I get time on Saturday too. Is it just Saturday and Sunday this year? It's better just 2 days, I stressed out last time with Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I booked in people on the Friday and we travelled down that day, so then I had to tattoo too, and that day was just horrible.
BTC: It goes so quick though!
ND: It's always the same, you travel down, you come you work, you don't see anybody, you don't see the convention and then you go home again!
BTC: So how would you describe your style, how did you get into it? Have you always been into the dark stuff?
ND: Even before I started tattooing my artwork was like that, and then for some reason I progressed into doing fuller work and bright sort of girly stuff. This last year I've really stripped it back and gone back to the darker, stranger sort of stuff. I think it's more of my personality in my work than it was when it was bright, colourful more girly, and I'm a lot more comfortable now than I was working in that stuff. Colour work is stressful. And some people make it look effortless and so easy, and I just used to have panic attacks. I think I've found my way again with what I'm doing. I've probably lost loads of customers, but I'm a lot happier in what I'm doing. People do seem to love it as well.
BTC: So what's next, what's going to be the progression?
ND: I'm going to carry on with what I'm doing at the minute and see where it goes from there. I'm quite interested in exploring negative spaces in stuff at the minute. I did a weird snake lady yesterday with a negative snake over her face, and I don't think people really got it but I really enjoyed it.
BTC: Have you got any other conventions coming up, or any guest spots?
ND: End of July I am coming down, I'm coming down with Lukasz, hopefully London Convention if I can again, and then I'm off up to Old Town in Edinburgh in July as well. And I'm hopefully coming down to Brighton before the convention with Machete to hang out with him and Adrian.
Neil will be with us all weekend at BTC9, head over to try to grab a walk up appointment from him on the Sunday. Still haven't got your tickets? Get them here.
Artist Spotlight – Hannah Pixie Sykes
We are stoked to be welcoming Hannah Pixie Sykes to the Brighton Convention this year. Hannah will be joining us with the guys from Parliament Tattoo, in what will be her first ever appearance tattooing at a convention. Hannah has a huge online following for her tattoos and artwork, and is notoriously tricky to get booked in with due to overwhelming popularity. We got in touch with Hannah to chat about what has influenced her style, how she got into tattooing, and all about Black Stabbath, her private studio…
BTC: How did you get into tattooing and how long have you been working now?
HPS: I started working at a little street shop while I was still at college. I got the job through a close friend who was a piercer. My friends were all, and still are for the most part, considerably older than me so it helped a lot getting into the industry through them at a young age! I was still like 16/17 so I cleaned down, cleaned up and just generally ran the desk for a year or so before I was even let loose on grapefruits with a tattoo machine!
I then went on to leave that shop, with my close friends who worked there, as they'd decided to set up a custom studio called Holy Mountain. I spent two years there, learning what I could and tattooing friends at the end of the day after all the walk ins I could get my hands on. After 2 years or so with them, I felt like I had learnt all that I could there, and after deciding to move to Sheffield everything just fell into place for my own studio, Black Stabbath. I had no intentions of setting up shop alone, ever really. I didn't have a plan as such and I certainly didn't feel anywhere near experienced enough – but I felt like in that particular period of my life, everything just happened so organically and it feels like mountains literally moved to allow me to live the life I knew was the right path for me. I'm a big believer in synchronicity and just letting go and surrendering to the flow of things. I'm all for working hard but I find personally when I don't force things the universe always delivers!
BTC: How would you describe your own style?
HPS: I'm not entirely sure if I'm honest. It's still changing and I hope it will continue to, so I will continue to improve alongside that. But in three words I guess I'd say; black, bold and ornate.
BTC: Do you have any big influencers in the tattooing world?
HPS: My friends really inspire me. I'm really lucky to know some really sick artists who I'm very stoked I get to work alongside. The dedication they have to continually improve and only put out work that is to the very best of their ability is inspiring. Real artists who create for the sake of creating, not just for monetary gain. Rebecca Vincent is dope, Scott Move has helped me no end too & all the guys at Parliament to be honest. I have a lot of work from an awesome artist called Jemma Jones too who helped me out loads, offering advice that came in really useful, especially when I'd just started. Guyletatooer is also a huge influencer for me, artistically. I met him when I was 18, and have been getting tattooed by him ever since. He is now one of my closest friends. I owe him a lot for his genuine advice, the beautiful art he has put on me and all the help he has given me with my own work.
BTC: What inspires your art?
HPS: Mostly, wherever I have most recently been in the world. Travelling the world and making as many memories as possible is all I spend any money on these days really and it's a win win situation, because I always come back with a million new photos for reference and feeling mad refreshed and inspired to create something new.
BTC: What has been the highlight of your tattooing career to date?
HPS: Tattooing my parents! For sure. I've been given some amazing opportunities through tattooing there's no doubt but that's gotta be numero uno.
BTC: Is Brighton the first tattoo convention you have worked at? Have you ever visited before?
HPS: It is the first convention I will be tattooing at myself. I've been to a bunch before to see friends and hang out, and I also had the chance to work Mondial Du Tatuage recently, the incredibly huge Paris convention. That was a ton of fun but super hectic, I was working helping out my friend and tattooist Guy. It was definitely a good way to ease into tattooing at one myself – I've always sworn I'd steer clear of working them till now because I'm quite socially awkward and anxious and always have been. The environment I have created in my own studio couldn't be further from that of a convention, super chilled, private and cosy. But that being said I am excited about it and my assistant and closest friend is gonna be there with me for moral support !
BTC: How are you feeling about the prospect of tattooing in the convention environment?
HPS: Nervous and excited. Mainly nervous!
BTC: Will you have any prints or merch for sale?
HPS: Yes! I'll be bringing very limited numbers of clothing & accessories from my latest collection, and I'm also having some new prints made especially!
BTC: How can people book in with you?
HPS: I only ever plan about a month ahead in advance, as my life is too unpredictable to look much further forward than that. I'm not currently taking bookings as I'm booked up but the email to enquire over is firstname.lastname@example.com – my assistant Charlotte manages all my emails and appointments.
BTC: What are you looking forward to the most about Brighton?
HPS: Well from what I remember Brighton was an amazing, super pretty place with some amazing vegan places to eat at. And I fucking love food. And the sea! Also, of course, seeing a few familiar faces and hopefully making some sick tattoos in the process.
Hannah is booked up at the convention this time around, but will be selling her merch at the Parliament Tattoo booth. Check out her work here, and if you haven't got your ticket yet, head here now.
Elliott Wells – Artist spotlight
Elliott Wells is a tattoo artist with an instantly recognisable style, often featuring ornate details and warm, earthy tones. We caught up with Elliott to ask him about how he developed his style, and what we can expect to see from him at the convention…
BTC: Elliott, what got you into tattooing?
EW: Really my mum and dad got me into tattooing. My mum and dad are old 80s goths and metalheads respectively, so they've both got some really shit tattoos, but they had a lot of tattoos. They were getting tattooed by some old artists in Chatham and as I got older I was always around them, and then my mum met my step dad who was also heavily tattooed and it just kind of seemed right! I was always around them, I liked them. My mum had a tattoo that she would never let me see, I think it was really offensive, but she had it covered up after a few years so I never saw it but was always curious. That's kinda how I got into liking them I suppose… and I'm shit at everything apart from art so…!
BTC: How did you take the step into tattooing?
EW: Hanging around a studio doing dogs body work, then becoming a receptionist and then eventually being taken on as an apprentice, but it took years! Years and years and years. The proper way: lunch runs, toilet cleaning, mopping, sweeping, making needles for the week – stuff that most apprentices would never have to do now!
BTC: Your style is so recognisable, how did you develop that from the beginning?
EW: Probably from not being able to draw all the things that I tattoo now, I told myself I would be able to draw them, so I just kept drawing them and drawing them and drawing them. Probably drawing them badly, probably tattooing them badly to begin with, but I kept doing it and kept doing it till I finally got good at those things. That's sort of how I learn things – not being able to do things then I keep practicing until I can do it – no matter how many times.
BTC: You have a unique colour palette which is really striking, you can always identify if a tattoo is yours based from the colours; what drew you to that look and aesthetic?
EW: I suppose its the way the I blend my colours, I don't like blending from one ink to another, I will always double, triple, quadruple dip into various inks as long as they're in the same colour palette or colour tone… I very rarely use whites or anything like that, just earthy natural tones and you get really smooth natural blends, brighter colours and no under shading so everything brighter. Always bright.
BTC: How many times have you worked Brighton Convention?
EW: This will be my second year working at Brighton. Last year was my first and I visited for a number of years but this will be year number 2! Very excited. Its nice to work it as there is a lot of people there I'm already quite friendly with so its nice to see some familiar faces and just friends to hang out with and have a drink with. It's a really relaxed show as opposed to others where its felt very regimented and like 'I have to do this by a certain time or I'm not allowed in there with that' – Brighton's very relaxed.
BTC: So what have you got coming up now apart from the convention?
EW: I've got 3 conventions this year, I've got Brighton, London and Montreal, and then that's done for the year. I won't be doing many more guest spots from now on, I prefer to focus now just on my work, being at the studio and being at home seems to me to be more important these days. It's nice to see friends but I can see friends on a social basis not on a work basis. Cut back a little bit and spends some time on artwork, I've not got a problem with that, I'm getting old.
BTC: How long have you been tattooing?
EW: I think it's going to be coming up to 5 and half years now so not long in the grand scheme of things. but long enough… I'm 27.
BTC: Do you have any projects outside of tattooing?
EW: I'm a terrible painter, but I'm working on a sketchbook at the moment. It was going to be ready for Brighton but it won't be now unfortunately, and hopefully it will be out for London. I hope to have some of my engraved bookmarks, and some prints to sell at Brighton but I'm very disorganized… 6 weeks? I think you're expecting a great deal from me! you might not get anything now…

Brighton Convention Portraits
At last years convention we commissioned photographer James Hole to capture portraits of visitors and artists at the convention. The resulting pictures are a real insight into the modern tattoo community.
We look forward to seeing some of these faces again this year, alongside a host of other fantastic artists. Have a look at the full Gallery below, and keep an eye out for exclusive video interviews with select BTC artists soon to be featured on HighSnobiety.
The Brighton Tattoo Convention takes place April 30th to May 1st at the Brighton Centre. You can see catch some of the people photographed above at our next edition. Click here for a full list of artists. Still haven't got your tickets? Book now.
Nefarious Pinstriping Workshop
This year at the convention we are taking a closer look at the art of pinstriping, with experts Nefarious. Based in Farnborough, Hampshire, these guys are the masters of what is an old school art form. Pinstriping as an artform is as old as the hills, more commonly associated with coachlining, barge painting and Romany waggons.
'Modern' pinstriping is attributed to characters like Tommy 'The Greek' Hrones, Dean Jeffries, Kenneth 'Von Dutch' Howard and Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth, and these days pinstriping can seen on everything from cars and bikes to handbags and guitars.
Nefarious will be joining us at the show at 3.30pm on both Saturday and Sunday with live workshops, including an introduction to pinstriping, the tools, paints and brushes to use, and creating a design.
See more at their website here, and don't miss them at the show.
Dark Arts Gallery
This week on the blog we have picked a selection of tattooists known for their dabbles in the dark side. There are none more black at BTC than this selection of artists, so be sure to check them out at the Convention in a few weeks time…
Rafel Delalande – Artist Spotlight
This year we are very excited to welcome Rafel Delalande to the Brighton Tattoo Convention for the first time. A big fan of all that is black and metal, Raf is well known for his dark style and choice of subject matter. Having been in the game well over a decade, Raf can currently be found working amidst the ranks of Seven Doors. We caught up with him for a chat to uncover some of the mystery behind the man…
NMW: So how did you get into Tattoo art, were you into it before you became a tattooist?
RDL: When I started getting tattooed I got into it really fast, I mean I became friends with my tattooist when I was doing building work, and he told me you should stop this and do more drawings, and come on the weekends here. This was Olivier; he has a shop in Montreal now, called Glamord.
NMW: So how long have you been tattooing now?
RDL: I started 14 years ago, but I started seriously later, the first 3 or 4 years was like flat and trying to, then I met Guy [Le Tattoer] 10 years ago and he took me to work with him, so it's been 10 years now every day.
NMW: So you worked with Guy Le Tattooer, where was he working then, was that in his old shop?
RDL: Yes it was in a real old shop he had in Toulouse, it was called Alternative Tattoo. That was now 10 years ago, I work for him there for a few years, then we open a shop called La Tannerie, then we closed it.
NMW: Being from warmer climates, Can you tell me a bit about how and why you came to London?
RDL: I came to London Because I met a woman…. So I decided to stay here, I was working at Shangri La at first, then I met Jondix at some convention and I wanted to change shop as it was a bit slow for me, and then Jondix told me you can work with me at Seven Doors. Obviously I was really really happy, I mean I do black and dots so he was one of the people who influenced what I do.
NMW: So how did you come to your style now, have you always kept it completely black?
RDL: I did maybe 2 or 3 tattoos with a bit of red, like 12 years ago… I started doing just black when I met Yann Black, I dunno if you know him, he was working at Glamord with Olivier in Montreal. He does a bit of colour, red sometimes, but mostly just black, so I started doing just black after I met him, and I started doing dots, I use a lot of dots. About 11 years ago I did a portrait of Frankenstein on my sister and I did all dots shaded, and so I started doing all dots portraits, that sort of thing. And then with Guy I think we've been influencing each other for a few years, I learned a lot from him, like if you do black you should do other things than dots, to make it a bit more interesting. But always black.
NMW: Keep it true. So what do you take influence from now days?
RDL: Nowadays ,devils and satanic imagery, Spanish paintings with creepy devils with faces, and I think when I do portraits its influenced by that, and I'm really influenced by movies and music, mainly metal and those aesthetics.
NMW: What movies are you into?
RDL: Dark stuff, I really like old Georges Franju, French movies from the 50's 60s, he did the eyes without face, all black and white, really dark subjects, like Film Noir, that kind of things. When people ask me for Horror movie tattoos I'm really happy, for the work it's a good influence.
NMW: First for you at Brighton this year… That's exciting! Have you worked any other Conventions in the UK?
RDL:I never worked in Brighton, it's going to be the first time, I go to Brighton a lot, but never work there, I try to go as much as possible with my girlfriend and my dog, but I've never been to the convention before. In the UK never, I do Paris and I think I don't do that many convention, I would like to do more, I just started doing conventions recently.
NMW: How do you find working in that environment?
RDL: Now I think I'm ok because I have a few years of tattooing, I think I did a few like 7 years ago and I didn't feel comfortable at all, but I'm more sure about my work now, so it easier to set up if you have customers, you just have to focus on the tattoo. Conventions are nice, you always meet good people, I think it's going to be good.
NMW: Are you going to have any prints or anything to sell?
RDL: I'm gonna have some, patches and stuff, I just did some prints recently horror movie based and I'm going to bring that, and I'm going to do t-shirts, loads of stuff.
NMW: What are you plans, I know you say you want to do more conventions, is there anything you do outside of tattooing, any creative endeavours?
RDL: I'm trying to organise my time now, I want to do way more illustrations, started working slowly on a series of back pieces illustrations, I'd like to do 6 back piece illustrations, and that takes time. Full body suits.
NMW: Like the Body Scrolls Exhibition that will be at the Convention? Did you do any in that?
RDL: Yes I did two, I did a guy and a girl, I was really happy, was nice to have a deadline, you know when you have an exhibition like this you have a deadline. I'm quite proud of the work I did for the back pieces; I'm really happy with it.
NMW: How long did it take you?
RDL: It took me about 7 or 8 nights on each one – I'm slow, I take my time. I just finished one painting from an exhibition in Rome and I'm working on another one for an exhibition in Paris now.
NMW: What kind of paint do you work with?
RDL: When I do bigger stuff I use a brush, a really thin brush, and I do everything with liquid acrylic. I did like that for the body suit scrolls, same technique. When I draw or paint I use dark shading, when I tattoo I use other methods.
NMW: Do you like to do big work like that?
RDL: Yes, as a creative person, for me I think of it a bit like a child wanting to show how nice his drawing is, for me it's the same with the body suits, you know I have the good feedback from people I respect. Bigger stuff is always more impressive.
Recently I have had some back pieces and full fronts, not yet body suits, I mean I have one person who I'm basically doing a bodysuit on. To find somebody who has nothing is difficult. I like it though, I'm impressed by the full body suits, but I prefer for me, to have smaller bits really.

Abandon Ship – Trader Focus
A big part of BTC is the selection of amazing Traders that we add into the mix. From tattoo supplies to clothing and accessories, to tattoo flash and artwork, to curios such as taxidermy, the shopping opportunities at the convention are as diverse as the artists. Rich is an avid tattoo collector, and this year joins us at the convention with his brand Abandon Ship Apparel. We had a quick chat with him to see what he'll be bringing to the convention and what he's looking forward to most…
So, for those who don't know, can you give me a brief rundown of the brand?
So Abandon Ship… We call ourselves an alternative lifestyle brand from Scotland but that doesn't really say much… we make clothing that we love for people we love. We take a lot of references from traditional tattoo artwork but work with a lot of amazing designers and artists so our range is usually pretty eclectic. Beyond that we believe in being transparent with our customers and spreading a positive message.
BTC: Brighton is quite the trek from your motherland, why did you decide to make the trip?
Brighton has been one of my favourite conventions for years, even before the brand existed I used to travel down to check it out with my wife. I love the vibe of the show and the city its held in. Brighton has a great culture and vibe to it and that is apparent at the convention too. As I said, I want to take the brand to a lot more conventions going forward so it made sense that our first one back would be my favourite.
BTC: What are you most looking forward to about the weekend?
Seeing old friends and meeting new ones. I know a lot of people attending so it will be a great time! Plus a convention is always a good excuse to pick up some new prints for the house.
BTC: You are heavily tattooed yourself… Can you highlight some of your favourite tattoos and tell us a bit about the artists you chose and why/story behind?
Tattooing has been a part of my whole adult life. From when I started getting them at the age of 17 I always wanted to be fully covered. At the moment the main project I am working on is adding a lot of black work to my shoulders and neck. I have had my arms blacked out for about 7 years now so it has been a natural progression and I love it. Some of my favourite tattoos I have are by Iain Sellar. He is one half of "Long Fox" who work with Abandon Ship a lot and is an amazing artist so when he started tattooing it was inevitable that I would get tattooed by him. He has tattooed my head twice (a shark on the side and an eagle on the back) and I love them both.
Another artist who has done a lot of work on me is Craig Ridley. He has tattooed my arms, hands, palms, legs… pretty much everywhere and I trust him a lot. Cal Jenx is also working on my back at the moment and that has been an incredibly sore but fulfilling project. I held off on my back for a long time but I am glad it is him that is working on it – he is doing an amazing job.
BTC: Are there any artists you are excited to check out during the convention?
To be honest I am always excited to see new artists that I haven't heard of before. It is the most enjoyable part of the show for me. With Instagram I see most of my favourite artists work in real time so its always fun to find someone new whose artwork blows your mind.
BTC: Planning on getting any work yourself over the weekend?
Nah, I never really get work at conventions because I am usually working or I leave it until the last minute. I always, ALWAYS get tattoo envy at the shows though, a friend will roll up to the stall with a sweet new tattoo and I will get jealous and want to be tattooed but wont have the time. I counter this usually by getting tattooed just before the show or just after so I have something to look forward to.
BTC: What can BTC punters expect to find from you at the convention?
We will be bringing some older designs that are hard to find along with some of our latest products – a little bit of something for everyone.
BTC: You've achieved a lot so far with AS, what have been some of your highlights?
Ah there has been so many! I think the main highlight is that I get to do this for a living and working with so many awesome people. It is a privilege to get to do this and one I embrace!
BTC: You've talked openly about the changing retail environment, and how brands need to adapt or die. What's next for Abandon Ship?
For us the most important thing is to keep knocking out awesome designs, to have fun at events like Brighton Tattoo Convention and provide for our families!
