Mr. Don Ed

I can't afford (much less pull off) the gear with his name on it, but in my opinion Don Ed Hardy is a pioneer in skin art--the link between Sailor Jerry and Horihide. The groundbreaking, ultra talented, and super-friendly tattoo artist will be featured in the Art or Not show on the Ovation network (cable channel 608 in Hawaii) on Sunday, August 12th at 8:00 p.m. This episode shows his current works in porcelain, mixed media objects, paintings, and San Francisco shop Tattoo City, as well as stuff by Shepard Fairey, Jeffrey Vallance, and others.
