www.gregbartz.com I have been obsessed with body art ever since I got my first tattoo. A mostly self-taught tattooer I have been tattooing since 2005. I love all styles of tattooing but have been really loving realism lately. I have been an artist as long as I can remember and got a graphic design degree in 2004 from the Academy of Art in San Francisco. My art is greatly influenced by the world around me and the artists I work with. As well as such artists as Drew Struzan Mark Ryden, A. Mucha, Salem.

Getting ready to send out piantings for Hope Gallery's art show for the reopening of his tattoo studio heres a shot of me and Craigers paintings. Super excited about it, there are gonna be tons of amazing artists I look up to there. An honor to have stuff next to theirs

Staying busy

Its been really hot and it kills my energy so I have been working on other things to beat the heat. I started a sketch book a few weeks ago in a effort to do more drawing not just to tattoo. Heres a few pages to show ya some of it. I have been working at my first shot at making t-shirts and clothing. I am getting into the whole process of making them. Look for one soon

HOLLYWOOD

Glad to be home from our little trip to Hollywood. Me and my buddy Brent Hefner went up there to work the Tattoo Hollywood Convention. Got to stop and visit with my buddy Julian Zeff at his shop all for one and hit up the Bob Roberts show at Canvas LA. Bummed I didnt get any pictures of the art but there was plenty of great art there. Friday we managed to make it to the convention and get started. Got to meet a bunch of cool artists and do a couple of cool tattoos. Good time but glad to be home again.
