About Me

"Nuts to art. Genius is just the compelling desire to excel, to express one's self, to give enjoyment to others, this plus nature's gift of a super-abundance of energy over and above the requirements for daily living. A surplus of exuberance to share among those around us". ~Leeteg~ I am a tattooer at the world famous Tattoo Factory in Chicago. I also paint on velvet. I hope to make my mark in the amazing and fun history of velvet paintings. They've gone from being the finest of victorian art, to the exotic and erotic tiki paintings of Leeteg, to the kitschy mass produced art of Tijuanna. My work combines the traditions of all three! I continuously get crazy ideas for new paintings and absolutely LOVE what I do. I am lucky to have friends who not only inspire me but also encourage me to make whatever kooky ideas I have happen...I can be contacted for commissioned work here on myspace.Love and respect~ Bethplease visit the tattoo factory website!
