This Thursday, Dec. 3rd, I'll be attending the cool Black as Ink film event at Intuit in Chicago:
An evening of three short films related to tattoo history and culture:
'Stoney Knows How' (1981), by Alan Govenar and Bruce “Pacho” Lane, 29
minutes; 'Tattooed Lady of Riverview' by Tom Palazzolo, 14 minutes; and
'Fullsuit: A Portrait of Blu-Bak' (1991), by Kapra Fleming. There will
be a Q&A session with filmmakers, Tom Palazzolo and Kapra Fleming.
Kapra will also be sharing an additional short film on Blu-Bak and
Amelia Klem Osterud will be on hand to sign copies of her new book 'The
Tattooed Lady: A History' (available for purchase in the gift shop).
$10 non-members / $5 Intuit members and students
Tickets can be purchased at the door.
The films should be amazing, and the gift shop at Intuit has gotten copies of The Tattooed Lady and I'll be there to sign them! This is in conjunction with their great exhibit- Freaks and Flash, which is at the museum until Jan. 9th.
See you there!
Join me at Woodland Pattern Books in Riverwest on Dec. 9th at 7pm.
I'll be giving a short presentation about tattooed ladies as part of their New Prose Series (check out their website for more info: http://www.woodlandpattern.org/)
The event is free and open to the public, and Woodland Pattern will have copies of the book to sell!
Woodland Pattern books is located at 720 E. Locust St. in Milwaukee.
Yes, there has been a delay. The Tattooed Lady will be here in less than one month- first week in December.
You can still pre-order via Amazon.com, which is kindly sending out little emails recommending it to people who have bought other tattoo books.
You can even browse through a few selected pages!
I'm in the process of planning two book signings at the beginning of December, more details to follow. One will definitely be at Woodland Pattern Books in Milwaukee on Dec. 9th. I will be talking as part of their Prose Series and signing books.
I think there will also be something at Carroll University in Waukesha in March for Women's History Month.
Enjoy the random new tattoo picture from this summer!
