Please join us THIS Saturday, April 3rd to see painter Buddy Nestor's 'All Girls Go To Hell Series'. Here's his bio;

I was born and raised in Collingswood , New Jersey , a suburb of Philadelphia , Pennsylvania. As an only child Latch Key Kid, I spent endless hours in front of the television, watching movies and drawing. I gravitated toward strange cult and horror films. Skateboarding in my teens exposed me to Punk, Indie, and Metal music. In 1997, after the birth of my son, I decided to teach myself to paint. In 1999, I traveled around the world on an aircraft carrier, and painted everyday. Painting in isolation on the boat, showed me the calming effect that the creative process had on my mind and body. I returned to school and received a B.A in Fine Arts.

The series I am presently working on is called, Every Girl Goes to Hell. All of the models I use for these portraits are very beautiful. However, when I paint them, they are very ugly.

Also, we have a ton of stuff left from the tattoo convention. New Rebel8, Me Against the World, Gama-go, and To Die For in the mix...

Join us this weekend @ The Sheraton-17th & Arch sts. here in Philadelphia for the annual Tattoo Convention. We're stocking up now with more shirts, toys, & books. For everyone coming in from out of town, it's a great chance to see our new location. We got a little taste of great weather this weekend, and it was packed here @ The Piazza! more to come I'm sure...
