I’ve spent the last few days in Las Vegas, unwinding and catching up with my extended family at the annual APP Conference. A yearly highlight is the time I get to spend with Dave Gillstrap. Usually poolside. Always surprising in scope and content, spending time with Dave is always entertaining and educational; we always seem to challenge our own passion for scarification by dissecting the current culture of both artist and client. I generally come out of these meetings re-energized and inspired.
Shortly after getting back to Philadelphia, Dave shared this cutting that he recently completed. He titled it “Tree of Life-ish”. Spectacular cutting by one of the nicest guys in the world.

Outstanding work!
Wonderful piece ! Healed perfectly.
Beautifull!
and Dave IS indeed one of the nicest guys in the world!
