Check out the trailer for the new documentary about "Stream of Consciousness Tattooing" by Rev. Wells
"One of the most unique and innovative approaches to freehand tattooing I've ever seen!" -Tony Terrell GM Hell City Tattoo Fest www.hellcity.com
"Following the tattoo where it wants to take you is truly a new direction in modern tattooing! The freedom this type of tattooing represents is a key to allowing the artist’s mind to grow exponentially. This is any tattoo artist’s dream!”" -Durb Morrison Hell City Tattoo Festival< www.durbster.com www.hellcity.com
"Pushing tattooing to it purest most primal form, this just may be as real as it gets." -Joshua Carlton Great American Tattoo Company, Alla Prima Ink www.joshuacarlton.com www.allaprimaink.com
"We are witnessing a time when tattoo is finally being recognized as art, not merely decoration or novelty. Stream of consciousness expression is the purest in any art form and is deservedly being applied to tattoo in this bold and creative venture. In an industry where 'to copy' is standard, it is a pleasure to see such originality in thought and expression." -Carter Moore immortalcanvas.com
"This is definitely the next step into the future of tattooing. This will take some guts and amazing talent and Chad has both." -Mike Guidone Monkey Bones Tattoo www.monkeybonestattoo.com
"To me it seems to be a different approach in the mind of an artist, which could potentially create a product that would be radically different than anything anyone expected or has created before." -Sean Herman www.seanherman.com
Hey Chad .... just wanted to thank you again for the awesome job you did on my little cupcake piggy ... it looks amazing today .. and everyone loves it .. can't wait to get into the whole theme on the leg ..

Yeah, the "Stream of Consciousness" Book is put now and is selling really well. I'm almost out of the first printing. The artist's reference sketchbooks will be coming out soon. Those got way slowed down... Good to hear you're well. I'll be at Hell City on Saturday for Guy's things and I'm tattooing some clients from NY in their room. I'll see you there!

Thanx for the message.
i really need to get outta this funk tho. I feel like all i do is work at that hell hole and come home and sleep.
I could seriously use some hang out time... I don't wanna be some sorta vapid drone on my way towards memory status.
I will try to call you later to set something up in the way of hang out time.

*Cliche Alert*
Bonfires burning bright Pumpkin faces in the night I remember Halloween Dead cats hanging from poles Little dead are out in droves I remember Halloween!
Brown leaved vertigo Where skeletal life is known I remember Halloween This day anything goes! Burning bodies hanging from poles I remember Halloween!
Candy apples and razor blades Little dead are soon in graves I remember halloween This day anything goes Burning bodies hanging from poles I remember Halloween
