Do you also do landscapes? My grandmother has a painting of a fall landscape signed "Barber". She lived in Long Beach.

Recently I was sitting in a bus terminal reading trying to figure out how to drown out the television with Ted Koppel and others...I had a copy of the current issue of Rebel Ink in my bag, I took it out and figured I might as well start listing artists or persons who I figured I had seen before in other publications on tattoos or who I figured I might see again. This proved to drown out the nonsense and televised lies. I enjoy focusing on art and art news. Shawn Barber escaped my list that day but not for long fore here I am (having visited this site while looking up Eric Fortune). I stuck around and found Shawn. Such is the arch in my life...such is the validation to continue what I started in the bus terminal...this man is indeed one to watch..visit his site.

the tattoos make the person with them stand out, when usually the tattoo stands out on the person
