Born in England but actually based in New York, Thomas Hooper pursues his dream of developing a career tattooing and painting. Currently working for New York Adorned in Brooklyn, where it has a steady clientele who love his style, a blend of old school with tribal made dot by dot, geometry and images of mystical content. His works on skin are rarely on color, but it's equally spectacular.
And as for his painting states that "although directly complementary to the skin-based work, sails far from the world of tattooing to explore a very medium-orientated abstraction. Mixing with ease orthodox and unorthodox painting techniques, organic textures with computer-enhanced patterns, accidental stains with geometrical entities, witnessing an undeniable although alienated legacy from Abstract Expressionism". Besides his work on skin and painting has published a couple of interesting books and the brand Shirts And Destroy has released some of his illustrations on t-shirt. Behind the cut you can see some of his most impressive works on skin and paper.
