Time Machine II prints and new patches

TMII wp 3

Finally here! Time Machine II print is available through Proyecto Eclipse webstore. It’s been my first time working with this new version of the old known museum etching paper by Hahnemühle. As you can see in the pictures, the edge is deckled, just like it was a handmade watercolour paper. This adds a nice, less cold touch to this limited edition of 8 copies. All of them are signed, numbered and embossed by me. They come with a certificate of authenticity and they have been masterfully printed at Impressionart once again. All the technical info about the print is in the shop.

You’ll see I have also designed some new patches and I’m very happy with the result! The moon and star patch, named as Cycle patches, are only available together. The big one, is a twisted reinterpretation of Milton’s cosmology diagram from his classic poem Paradise Lost. The diagram appeared for the first time in Homer Sprague’s 1883 edition, nearly after 200 years of the first publication…and it’s amazing. My first idea was to replicate the diagram as it was:
Realm-of-Chaos-and-Night
But! despite it is an amazing picture and idea, it would be a poor challenge to do it that way. So I started to think and later on I found out my own concepts to make this patch. By switching some words and using the death representation as a centre, my Milton’s inspired patch came up. Last part of the process was doing a good research into some books of military insignia from the second world war and Vietnam too. I really love that stuff you know… I have also had the support and advice from El Carlo and Rotor. Once again their expertise in this field solved many problems before they even appeared. Take a look:

Don’t doubt to get your patch as soon as you can. Once they are gone, it’s almost sure they’ll never be back. Limited editions help us to keep our minds creative but they run out fast. We also like to have new stuff as often as we can at Eclipse.

Thanks again for keeping an eye into my work. All the info about the print and patches is available in the online store. Worldwide shipping is also available, as always.

Eclipse Tattoo Barcelona

Proyecto Eclipse sigue su camino y da un paso más. A Carlo, Rotor y a mí nos alegra enormemente anunciar que vamos a montar un estudio de tatuajes en nuestra ciudad. Recientemente y después de una larga búsqueda hemos encontrado un local en el barrio de Gracia que nos parece increíble para trabajar todos juntos. Nos esperan unos meses de esfuerzo y calor para tenerlo a punto en otoño pero sabemos que valdrá la pena.

Después de trabajar en Nahkoé, Aloha y en mi estudio privado junto a Carlo, tengo unas ganas enormes de crear un espacio propio junto a mis socios y amigos. Se cumplen once años en 2017 desde que empecé a tatuar y siento que parte del proceso de seguir adelante en Barcelona pasaba por tomar esta decisión. Gracias a Proyecto Eclipse y un montón de horas de trabajo detrás, ¡parece ser que será posible!

Queremos dar las gracias a todos los que han seguido este proceso durante los últimos meses, especialmente a nuestros amigos y família. A partir de ahora queremos sumar a todo aquel que quiera a esta experencia de construir este nuevo espacio. Por mi parte mantendré el blog actualizado lo máximo posible y a través del instagram de Eclipse podréis también ver todas las noticias. ¡Esperemos no aburrir!

¡Gracias de nuevo y hasta pronto!

—————————————————————————————————————————————–

Proyecto Eclipse is moving forward. Carlo, Rotor and I are extremely happy to announce the opening of our own tattoo studio in Barcelona. After a long research we’ve come up with a nice place in the neighbourhood of Gracia that seems incredible to work all together. We expect a lot of heat and work in the next months but we are sure it’s going to be worthy.

After working at Nahkoé, Aloha and my own private studio alongside Carlo, I deeply wanted to create a common space with my friends and partners. It’s eleven years now since I started tattooing and this is definetely a great call to make to keep on going in Barcelona. Thanks to Proyecto Eclipse and a thousand working hours this might come to an end!

We want to give thanks to everyone who has followed this process during the last months, our friends and family. From now on, everyone who’s interested in the process of building this new space is more than welcome. This blog will keep updated as usual and Eclipse’s instagram will display all the news. We hope not to bore You!

Thanks again and see you soon!

Tattoos from the book!

Tengo un sketchbook con algunos diseños de temáticas que me parecen realmente divertidas y estimulantes para tatuar. Este es el último que he tenido la oportunidad de realizar y estoy muy contento con el resultado. ¡Gracias Jaume por confiar en mí una vez más!
Todos los diseños son de un tamaño pequeño o medio, fáciles de tatuar en una sola sesión y totalmente en negro. Como además son ideas propias y a veces algo bizarras, los precios que cobro por estas sesiones pueden ser algo diferentes a lo habitual. No dudéis en preguntarme por mail david@davidtejero.com y quedamos para echarles un ojo a todos los que aún quedan disponibles. Os dejo aquí abajo una recopilación de algunos de los mejores que he tatuado con el mismo sistema.

Owl, heart and goat

I had the pleasure of tattooing this owl from my sketchbook on Sherine, from Switzerland, at the Bologna Tattoo Expo last month. Thank you very much for your choice and time. Next ones are on two of my best clients so far, Steven and Victor.

Both of them have trusted me more than once and they are capable of hearing me talking for hours in pain. Chest and ribs are not easy spots to get tattooed and they managed so well. Thank you both for your ideas one more time.

I’m actually back from some days off, preparing stuff for the next edition of Gutter Fest in Barcelona with Proyecto Eclipse . I get easily stressed so I apologize for my delay in answering mails and getting my agenda organized. Is all for good believe me! More news about Gutter Fest will be out soon.
Thank you all for keeping an eye on my work, if you want to get tattooed just write me here : david@davidtejero.com

March Tattoos

March is not finished yet but I’ve already done a lot of work between Barcelona, Dortmund and The Ink Explosion tattoo convention in Mönchengladbach. I’m extremely grateful for my days in Germany and I hope to be back as soon as my agenda allows me to travel. Right now, Proyecto Eclipse is demanding a lot of energy to put up our upcoming show in Valencia…and many other news we hope to give you soon.
I want to give my special thanks to all my german customers who trusted me more than ever on this trip. As I told before, it was great. Basti and all the crew at Färbaffaere, you are the best.
No me olvido tampoco de mis trabajos en Barcelona. Todos los que aquí muestro han sido un verdadero placer de realizar. A todos los que habéis viajado para venir y los que habéis hecho huecos en vuestros trabajos para tatuaros, gracias por partida doble. ¡Ojalá todos los meses fueran así!

Next week I’ll be attending the Bologna Tattoo Expo. If you want to get tattooed just drop by our booth and we will have a talk. I’ll bring my designs ready to tattoo. Any consultation, just write me here:

Danke Schön! Muchas Gracias! Grazie Mille!

Bologna Tattoo Expo 2017

This is going to be my first year working at the Tattoo Expo Bologna. I’ll be alongside my friends El Carlo and Rotor one more time, just like in Florence. Ana Revuelta will come with us as a helper and we will try to bring some good stuff from Proyecto Eclipse. It’s going to be great to be finally working in one of my favourite european cities.

I still have some space available if you want to get tattooed, but I really prefer to do some of the drawings I have already prepared. Just come by our booth and take a look. Hope to see you there!

For any question or booking, please write me here : david@davidtejero.com

Primeros tattoos de 2017

Estos son solo algunos de los tattoos que he realizado durante la última semana de enero y la primera de febrero entre Barcelona, Granada y Oporto. Tengo poquísimo espacio disponible para tatuar este mes y me gustaría realizar diseños de mi sketchbook. No os cortéis en preguntar por ellos o en proponerme ideas que se basen en ese tipo de trabajos. Son de tamaño pequeño o mediano, realizables en una sola sesión con toda la calma. Hacer ese tipo de tattoos me encanta y me ayuda a probar nuevos planteamientos, tanto temáticos como estéticos. ¡De esa manera creo que salimos ganando todos!
Agradezco todos los mensajes que recibo por instagram o facebook pero para concertar cita y hablar de vuestros proyectos solo uso este mail : david@davidtejero.com Creedme si os digo que la vida es mucho más simple así! Prometo contestar con la mayor rapidez posible todos los mails.
¡Gracias una vez más!

2016 has been one of my most important years as a tattooer. After leaving Aloha in February my work has grown so much. I’ve done many interesting tattoos during this time and my travels to Granada, Dortmund and Firenze had been very stimulating. I’m grateful for that. This year it’s also the first for Proyecto Eclipse and things could not be better. Alongside Carlo and Rotor we’ve done many great pieces of artwork and merch, showing them all in our expo. Proyecto Eclipse is heading 2017 with new products to sale and a new event we’ll promote very soon…
Thank you very much to You, my clients, for this special year. Thanks to my family and friends too, for supporting me all the way. See you in 2017!

Octopus

Juanma sent me a couple of really good pictures from his backpiece. We finished it a year and a half ago right now at Unity Tattoo Granada. Thanks for following my work here in this blog. I’ll try to upload this kind of good big pictures of my healed tattoos as soon as I have them.
