The Death art show was a great success at the Toronto Hilton opening on June 17th and we had a great time bringing to the Alberta Bound Northern shows. Thanks to the artists for all the original works of art. These works will now be going on tour around the world over the coming year.

New pieces from North American and Chinese artists as well as Bob Tyrrell and others will be ready for the Calgary Tattoo Arts Festival.

"Death" the art show. An art show in the theme of Death opened to celebrate the 13th N.I.X. tattoo convention.

Death, the 13th Tarot card, symbolic of the end, but also of a rebirth, a new beginning, or the natural cycle of life.

The Northern Ink Xposure Tattoo convention in June 2011 was the 13th incantation of Canada's longest running international tattoo convention. Over the last 13 years the renaissance of tattooing has seen artistic growth and new directions that has put to death the preconceived notions of what tattoo art is and has witnessed a rebirth that has moved tattooing itself and many of the artists who do tattoos into the realm of fine art.

Our aim is to showcase artwork from a select group of talent who have taken their art in the direction of fine art.

The art was unveiled at the "Northern Ink Xposure" Tattoo Convention at the downtown Toronto Hilton, Governor General's Suite on June 16th, 2011, where it remained on display throughout that weekend. The show was a great success.
