Coziness and Sketch Download

“You don’t want to see your kid struggle the whole time…but I’m only slightly struggling” 😅

New video is ready for you, hope you gonna enjoy it as much as I did filming it. Talking to people passionate about their craft is something that is so inspiring and exciting to me. Brandon is one of the best and he is just getting started 🔥

Just developed an old Kodak film I used last year in Vienna. Photos aren’t perfect, I mostly use digital camera so I’m not a professional film photographer, not even close…but sometimes maybe we don’t need perfect. All we need are those memories, stolen from our past selfs for us in to the future✨

As promised, first panel of comic book page finished. It was so fun drawing this one. I would love to know how to do it in simpler style so I can do it quicker, more panels for less time, story is more important then everything else...isn’t it?….I guess I should start writing😅

For the last year or so I have been working on black and white drawings and constantly promising that I will do one in colour. Here I am, promising once again 🤣 But in meanwhile check this one I did couple of years ago.

It’s simple, I want to live there…cold mornings, fresh air, sounds of tree tops waving in the breeze, birds chirping…I’m I going crazy, if I look hard enough I can feel the wind…

It is always about videos and photos...and tattoos of course

Extremely dedicated, humble and passionate about his craft. Talking to Evin was so interesting and inspiring. Learning more about relationship with his family, hearing about his life as a football player, his affection to tattoos before he started tattooing. Such a unique perspective on growing up in Edmonton, Alberta as son of an immigrant father. All of these small moments during life define us, shaping our persona and our future. Thank you Evin for letting me be a part of this 🙏

One of the best things about living in Alberta are the clouds for sure, biggest sky I have ever seen. Every day I’m just amazed how visually astonishing it is.🌤️

It's all about YouTube

Couple of weeks ago I was fortunate enough to spend the whole day at the SHOWDOWN tattoo shop on 10727 124 St NW, Edmonton. That is the second Showdown location. Crew was so welcoming and nice, it’s always fun to meet other tattooers😍

From 80s to 90s, from Edmonton skate scene to 2000s tattoo apprenticeships, Justin McGee aka Getsometats has seen it all😍 Justin brought us closer to his life as a skateboarder back in the day and tattooer for the last 15 years. He's got so many cool stories, I could listen to him for hours. Maybe one day we will do seven hour version of this thing 😅

Next interview is already in works! Be the first one to watch, check my Patreon account and keep an eye out❤️‍🔥

New YouTube Video

Hello 😍

One of my dreams is to work on a comic book, preferably cool adventure series with fantasy elements. But I’m not picky 😅

Realised that even though i currently don’t have enough time for a project that big, not to mention skills and that I don’t know anything about working on a comic book….one still can dream….and draw🐸

New video on my YouTube channel is all about drawing the first panel of a comic book page. That’s why “part one” is in the title, I’m planning to finish the whole page soon. Enjoy 🙌

Tattoo Diary / New Studio

Hi everyone😍

Since August, when studio manager Bobby hired me, I’ve been waiting to see the Showdown studio (Edmonton, Alberta) and meet new teammates.

The day has come, I felt so nervous and out of place. You have to remember, I worked alone since 2015. I’m used to a very different environment, that’s for sure. At the moments I felt like I’m dreaming, just a few weeks ago I was tattooing back in Serbia at my own private studio. The shock toned down after just couple of days, it helped that the crew was so nice and welcoming🤘🐸

From -40 to +5

In just a few days temperatures went from super cold -40 to beautiful +5, that’s Edmonton for you all😅❤️. Sonja and I had to take advantage of the Sun and go out for a walk. You can’t walk and not carry a camera. Especially when you have small FujiFilm XE-4 with pancake lens. That thing is so small and light that it’s travesty leaving it home on the shelf. Black and white is my game, at this point it feels weird when I switch to color.

That’s it, hope you will enjoy these photos, talk to you soon.
Have a wonderful rest of the week🏕️

Goodbye / New Video

,

Hello everyone!

My wife and I were in the middle of moving to Canada so I couldn’t dedicate myself to you completely. That’s why I needed to pause things for just a little bit, skip a month until I settle down and start working again. Here’s the last video filmed in our studio, Tattoo Spot Chicken Leg.

Leaving this place was so hard….my heart is broken 💔 but adventurous were waiting and we had to make some hard decisions.

Love you all✨
Oskar

Unboxing

Working on yourself means constantly exploring, searching…the right knowledge, the right tool. I have been using HEROPEN 3.5mm for the past year. One month since the purchase I have stopped tattooing with other machines. This pen is so light and versatile that immediately changed my perspective and tattoo style. Now, a year later I wanted to explore new opportunities with 4mm stroke and the only solution was to get another HEROPEN.

 

Pause

Due to a lot of work and personal stuff I won’t be able to post new video and sketch. Billing on Patreon is paused until next month when I would have enough time to fully dedicated myself. Thank you again for all of your support and see you soon, love you all🍁

 

Goodnight

Why is so hard to go home after a long day working? I’m just standing here and watching this place. I know I’m coming back tomorrow but…

Doing My Part

,

Couple of months ago I heard one sentence while listening to The Verge podcast. Since then, the idea lives in my head rent free and It goes something like this: “We are going to revolutionize the media with blog posts”. I really love that and I want to do my part.
Social media geography is changing and it feels scary when some of the platforms were our home for years, and now some of them are just gone. Some of them are locking features behind paywalls and ghosting our posts. Having website is more important than ever. its crucial to have place for your own work and ideas that no one can intervene and take .

Like I said, I really love that idea and I want to do my part🐸

 

DAY OFF

When you have a tight schedule and you don’t have a lot free time every second counts. Don't get me wrong I love tattooing, I would go that far and say: I live and breathe tattooing. But that doesn't mean that I don't love and enjoy other things like photography, drawing, writing, working out, singing in the band...

With these glimpse of my life I wanted to bring you even closer❤️

 

DOCUMENTING

As you noticed on start, I spend my free days walking around and taking photos. Last two years black and white was how I shoot. This summer I wanted to switch it up a bit and have some fun. For taking these photos I used my FujiFim XE 4, Fujinon XF 27mm pancake lanse, and “Vintage Analog“ Fujifilm recipes from FUJI X WEEKLY website. Hope you will enjoy them.
