What better way to start the New Year than to breathe some life into those old tattoos. In the month of January, Spirit Gallery will rework, redo or recolor any old tattoo for half price. Appointments are limited, so be the first to get in and be redone! See coupon below for complete details! As a matter of fact, our good friend Jackie Steele from radio station Q105 (actually she's on a couple of them) just came in to have one of her tattoos reworked! Take a look at the before (not done by Spirit) and after (a work-in-progress by Blaze).

Microdermals coming to Spirit!

That's right! Our piercer (and shop manager) Lari is going to school to master the art of microdermal implants! Stay tuned to our Facebook page or watch out for next month's newsletter for more information. (We're really excited about it.)

Dead Body opening this month

"Over My Dead Body" will hang until February 19. Viewing hours are 12- 8 p.m. Tuesday - Saturday.

Jordu Schell at Spirit Gallery!
(We really love this guy.)

Jordu Schell's Creature Building Workshop will run July 11-15, teaching students the basics of creature design, mask making and casting. Students will build their own half-mask, start a maquette of their creature and observe a full week's demonstration of Jordu building a full mask from start to finish. Class participation is limited to 30 students to make sure every individual gets a great seat and one-on-one tutoring from this master creature builder. Cost is $450 plus a $100 materials fee.

July 18-22, Jordu will be teaching his Sculpee Techniques Workshop.  During this one week class, students will build a 1/6th scale maquette of their own creature design to completion, with full color and accessories. Jordu will be working among the students the entire week, sharing his tips and solutions for many common challenges and teaching color blending techniques that make your creature come to life. Cost is $400 with students providing their own materials.

For more information on either class and to sign up, contact Blaze via email at brankauti@gmail.com. To see Jordu's work and list of Hollywood credits, check out his studio at www.schellstudio.com.
