Berlin & Barcelona

Well! I’m back from Berlin. This was my first time in the city and also at Das Kabinett. The experience has been great and I had the best of times working there. My special thanks goes to Alexander for following me since my Dortmund trips and getting this big goat tattooed. It was an honour once again.

Also, after many years of knowing him, I faced the incredible challenge of tattooing Matteo Radentti’s head…! No joke! Matteo is the studio owner and he needs no further introduction. His work is out of this world and he helped me through the whole process. I know it was painful but worthy too!

I really hope to establish a Berlin-Barcelona bridge to work there as many times per year as possible. I really enjoyed the city and working with all Das Kabinett’s team was a pleasure as I early mentioned. Please, if you want to get tattooed, just write me an e-mail and I will add you to my waiting list. As soon as it’s possible to go I will contact you back to ask for dates and availability. I’m always open to your ideas and also I have a huge amount of flash and projects ready to be tattooed. Please, don’t hesitate to ask for info!

Back in Barcelona I had the chance of tattooing Carlos again, one of my oldest clients in town who asked me for a special version of this tattoo about the plague doctor. Also, Dan, a classic client and tattoo collector from our Aloha Tattoos days, came for this Snaggletooth on his leg. You both know it was a pleasure! I’m always open to Motörhead tattoo proposals, don’t doubt it.

Finally, after almost three years, I was lucky enough to take some good pictures of this big harpy which is also tattooed on Carlo’s leg. This was done right after the lockdown for the fucking Covid pandemy. It was, back then, and until now, one of my favourite projects to work in.

Thank You all for following me here and not only on instagram. My agenda is open for this summer in Barcelona at Eclipse, my home. After, I’m planning on visiting Berlin again, Brussels, Vienna, Zurich and Copenhage too. Keep posted!

Hi there! Some months ago I painted this small selection of tattoo flash. Each one of these designs is ready to be tattooed at Eclipse Tattoo Barcelona or in any of my travels around Europe. Don’t hesitate to ask if you are interested in one or more of them! Also, if you are up to it, the original watercolour pages are available to sell through Eclipse’s online store. Three of them are already sold.

Thank you very much!

Looks like I haven’t posted any tattoos here on my blogsite since a long time ago! Ravens are back, that’s for sure. I’m really happy with the result of this one shot piece done on my colleague Skinny Marciano. He was looking for one of those dark ravens since we met back in…2018? A fuckinglongtimeago in London. A pleasure tattooing you and a really nice chat! Same as the next one, a three leg raven from the japanese mithology, called Yatagarasu:

This one was done in three sittings on one of my bravest clients ever. Thank you very much Raul for never complaining about pain and sitting so well during hours. You are a hero.
Last pictures are from my last visit to Fun Tattoo in Porto with my friend Neco and his apprentice Mariana. It was an enormous pleasure to be back after Covid dark ages and have the chance to work at their new location. I was also invited to bring my merch and artwork to participate in their open market which is taking place once a month. It was great to feel the good old tattoo vibes again after many years. Fun Tattoo Studio is fueling Porto’s tattoo scene with energy and a connection with some forgotten ways of understanding our craft. For all this and the crazy ammount of attention that my black book of designs got there, I’m forever in their team.
I’m gonna be back for sure to one of my favourite cities in Europe. To all my clients and friends there, thank you very much again and again.

And last but not least, I’m starting my 2023 travelling agenda so here are some confirmed dates:

MOTORWAR

What do you see when you listen to Motörhead? This is my answer and contribution for the «Warriors» show at Das Kabinett Berlin! Once again, Matteo and his team are putting together a really nerdi nice art exhibition. I really had a super fun time working on this piece and I’m actually planning on exploring the snaggletooth dimension a little bit more.
A couple of giclée prints of this Motörhead tribute will be available for you to buy at the show. All profits goes to charity! If you want to get the original artwork piece, please visit my online store.

As usual, for this kind of illustrations, I’ve used my molotow pens on arches paper in order to get a really smooth result. Measures are 29,6 x 42 cm (A3 format). I will not make further prints of this piece for commercial purposes.

Thank you very much for following my work once again and long live to the Overkill Bastards Sons.

Sol Invictus

19 diciembre, 2022 De davidtejerotattoos en ILUSTRACIONES, NOTICIAS Y AGENDA Etiquetas: artplusbcn, David Tejero, Eclipse Tattoo Barcelona, serigrafía, sol invictus Deja un comentario

Todos los años, Artplus bcn, uno de los talleres de estampación serigráfica con mejor reputación e historia de Barcelona, le encarga a un ilustrador o diseñador que realice la felicitación de Navidad de la empresa. Esa felicitación, acaba siendo impresa con su correspondiente carpeta y acaba en las manos de unos pocos afortunados ya que siempre son ediciones limitadas. Esta vez, después de colaborar con ellos durante casi diez años, ¡me ha tocado el turno! Sol Invictus es la obra original que realicé para la ocasión y la podéis comprar en mi tienda online. El soporte es una tela sobre cartón y la he realizado con acrílicos.

Y para los interesados en el print en cuestión, con su carpeta también serigrafiada y con el texto explicativo, os dejo aquí abajo unas imágenes y la info de como conseguirla.

Si queréis haceros con una de las 70 copias firmadas y numeradas en serigrafía a dos tintas, 30 x 40 cm, visitad la tienda online de Eclipse Tattoo Barcelona. ¡Son tan solo 30€ más gastos de envío y ya quedan menos de 40!

Para acabar, solo agradecer a Jose María, el maestro impresor detrás de todo esto, su atención al detalle y su dedicación a la profesión durante todos estos años. Siempre es un placer visitarle y desarrollar proyectos juntos. Por muchos más años y Navidades. Gracias.

Hi there! I present you my new patch : EL CAMINO. It’s a huge one, 20 cm height, full embroidery as usual. It took me a long time and a little bit of extra work but it’s finally available through Eclipse’s online store. This is a limited edition, only 50 units are available. Once they are gone, they are gone forever. I will never do a second edition of this patch.

Every patch comes with a nice sealed envelope filled with some extras. If you want to know more about the process, just check out my instagram and wait for the reel today. Thanks again for all your support! Feliç diada de Tot Sants.

Sirins, storm warriors and time machines

I recently had the pleasure of working on a favourite subject of mine, sirins and harpies. David, aka Sinistral Mortimer on instagram, came from Bratislava to get this huge piece done in two days in a row. That was a true display of strenght and commitment and will always have my admiration and respect.

A million thanks again David for your blind trust in my work and ways.

I also had the privilege of tattooing two old clients of mine in very interesting subjects such as time machines and storm warriors. I feel lucky as hell! Daniel, and Jonathan from El Verbo Studio , thank you very much again and again. Being able to go deeper on these subjects is something I really want to try.

To end this post and stage of the year, I’m going to show you my first collaboration with my good friend and co-founder partner at Eclipse Tattoo Barcelona El Carlo. We were asked several months ago by Juanito Sin Alma to draw something of our own in a combined piece. It was fluid, funny and really great to work on that creature from the abyss:

We would really like to thanks Juanito fro his wild trust in our ideas and also to encourage anyone who feels pretty brave to try and make us a call. Doing this collaboration has been really fun and we are looking forward to repeat the experience!

My last call is for the Brussels Tattoo Convention next month. I still have plenty of time and ideas to tattoo you there. Don’t doubt to contact me through my mail david@davidtejero.com if you want to get tattooed. I will also bring some new merchandise we are working on right now at Eclipse. Keep posted!

Thanks!
