Artist and Client- Dave Gillstrap

scarification portrait

Philip Barbosa shot this great portrait of artist Dave Gillstrap and client at SW1 in 2005. Dave had just finished the cutting on her leg and Phil decided to go for a very intimate pose to show the connection between the two. The photo loses a lot of detail with resizing, but take note of Dave’s torso scarification. (and his painted toenails)

    Great shot of some beautiful people with gorgeous work all around. Also, I think that’s the same shade I got in trouble with wifey for having my toenails painted.
