CHROMATOSE -The Cult of Color
This new ambitious project is the start of a new series of books dedicated to contemporary tattoo art and the artists devoting their live's to the cult of colour. An in-depth look at everything and most importantly everyone who make today's "new school" tattoo scene an explosion of style and color.
This series is expected to be a constant work in progress as we have decided to publish each artist independently, one volume at a time, as opposed to a one volume compilation of work. Each book examining in detail the work and words of each of these style wizards of the cult of colour. The key word in this series will be style. Original, bold, solid style that stands out from the rest of the scene. From artists who have paved the way, inspiring many to artists now leaving their indisputable mark and own original style in this continuously evolving scene.
Each artist's book in the collection will be:
23cm x 23cm
Between 100 and 180 pages
And obviously in full colour.
All first editions will be exclusively hard covers (2 variants for special edition copies).
All further editions will be exclusively soft covers.

Long live the cult of color.
