Visual Art – San Francisco
Tattoo artist and co-owner with Kristina Bennett at Sugar City Tattoo in Crockett CA.
SORINS BIO:I've been drawing or doing some sort of art since I was pretty young and continued until I graduated from Kent State University in Ohio with my BFA in Crafts (Jewelry and metals where my work was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame for a SNAG conference.) After a few years working various positions at a liquid crystal research and development company I began tattooing full time. I love working with the subject of bio mech or bio organic- think Aliens meets Art Nouveau, abstract work with a lot of flow and depth. I've created this style in glass, ceramics, sculpture, jewelry, and mostly digital painting and acrylic.
KRISTINAS BIO: I have worked in various media including oil, acrylic, watercolor, fiber, lino cut , flowers, cakes and ice. While I work as a fine line detailed custom tattoo artist, creatively I enjoy making art work displaying a roughness, rawness and texture. I respectfully take influence from my travels, meditation, theravada buddhism, and my struggles. It is important to me to pay homage to the cultures/experiences/and history that has cultivated that inspiration. I believe art is love, and creation is the human embodiment of spirit. My focus lately has been a concentration of death and the dharma. It is important to me to acknowledge the impermanent nature of the human experience, and the permanent nature of spirit .
