Art has been a major part of my life for as  long as I can remember. For the most part, I don’t think I’ve been especially good at it, but that never stopped me from doing it, I did it for ME and know one else. I taught myself how to tattoo at 18 years old and stated my own shop when I was round 25 in 2001. In 2006 I once again taught myself a new form of art, how to paint with an airbrush and it’s via the airbrush that I think myself, as an ‘artist’ has been fully realised. Since I started painting in 2006 I’ve done nearly 300 paintings, mostly onto cardboard (which I still have) and then other onto canvas, steel, a couple of cars and helmets and even onto a girls prosthetic lower leg. I love the versatility of the airbrush, I can literally paint onto almost anything.

I have a particular style to my painting which I love, its kid of alien type looking, and some say evil and dark but it’s not my intention to paint dark and evil, that’s just how it comes out. I love doing commissioned type work and doing portraits, taking something normalish looking and totally messing with it. I find a lot of inspiration from emotive photographic portraits, which is why a lot of my work features people’s faces.

Within the last 2 years I’ve also started dabbling in the digital realm. While I love other artists bright coloured paintings and don’t like doing them myself, that was until I started getting into doing more digital. Maybe its laziness lol, too much mess, not so with doing art in Photoshop, all very clean and tidy although you have to figure out how to paint via computer which is not the easiest thing in the world to do.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy my artwork as much as I enjoy creating it.

 

 

 

I heard something funny today

November 03, 2014  /  Scott Combes

Apparently I deal drugs, namely marijuana from my shop and I hang out with gangs.

Drugs;

Unfortunately if you’re looking to score, I’m unable to help you, sure, I like to smoke but I don’t deal it, just smoke it.

Gangs;

My first real introduction to gangs was when I was 19 in Christchurch and at the start I loved it, I went to a club house, they had swastika and rebel flags hanging up round the place and were listening to heavy metal and I remember thinking, this is awesome, people that are into the same shit as me. It didn’t take long for me to realise that was not that case. Back stabbing, lying etc. were rife, I was not like them. I didn’t know anyone else down there and maybe was too weak to associate myself with them, whatever the reason, I kept up the association, eventually shifting into the clubhouse, subsequently went to war with a pretty much identical white gang and ended up going to jail for almost 2 years.

So again, these fucktards that like spreading rumours about me have got it wrong

Other tall tales about me I’ve heard,

‘I hide swastikas in all the tattoos I do’;

 wish this were true but I’m simply not that clever and it’s a bit late to start doing that now, in fact the last few people to ask me if I’d tattoo one on them, I’ve said ‘no’ and told them not to be an idiot and in one case, I’ve ended up covering up the swastika I was originally asked to do that the idiot went to someone else and got.

I’m a “white Supremacist”;

 Now what’s the definition of a white supremacist?

:  A person who believes that the white race is inherently superior to other races and that white people should have control over people of other races

Again I’m going to have to let people down. I don’t think white people are superior, defiantly some are compared to some people and I’ve met Maoris that far more clever and intelligent than what I’ll ever be. I think all races are pretty interesting and unique and have something to offer and they have the right to exist

I meet and tattoo people from every race and country and I treat everybody the same as I treat anybody else, if you disagree then feel free to tell me who I've mistreated

Some people I do actually hate

Paedophiles…especially so called ‘professional tattoo ones’ ie greg purdy at tahuna beach tattoo lounge

That piece of shit calls himself a professional tattooist and has been sentenced to 6 months jail for sexual assault on young girls in his shop (btw the way the charges that put me in jail were ‘being a member of a riot’) and since this shining member of our community got out after a couple of months he’s continued his crusade on young girls by offering them tattoos in exchange for sex or sexual favours and with girls as young as 13 and 14.

It bewilders me how anyone, man or women knowingly walks into that shop and gets tattooed, regardless of if his son does it, that not a get out of jail free card, you’re still responsible for putting money into a paedophiles pocket, but sadly a lot of people have no problem with that

And some of us wonder why New Zealand is leading the world in child abuse, cause many of us couldn’t give a fuck or are too afraid to stand up and speak out
