Jeremy Miller

Jeremy Miller is known for his new skool realism that has the precision and contour of a high-density photograph. A perfectionist by nature, he often has trouble looking at his own work because all he sees are the countless ways that he could have done better.

He has been tattooing since 1998, and is the owner of Pigment Dermagraphics and Fine Art in Austin Texas. You can also catch him every Tuesday on Spike TV’s newest show Ink Masters.

We are pumped to offer Jeremy’s prints on www.steadfastbrand.com. See all of his prints HERE.

Aaron Is Seminar At the Philly Expo!

Whether you know him or not, love him or hate him, there is no doubt that Aaron is a case study in self-branding and industry relations.  This is a great industry that has lost some of the characters that the oldtimers seemed to embody.  Aaron is a great promoter, talented artist, and will always be remembered as a rainbow of color in an industry that sometimes just needs to have a good laugh with good friends.  Love you buddy and all the best!  See you in Philly!

AARON IS SUPER GAY SEMINAR FOR THE AWESOME IN TRAINING 9000

“WHERE TATTOO AND SOCIAL NETWORKING MEET, AND WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT”
The Aaron Is.. “comprehensive blending of social interaction and tattoo skill to make you cooler” workshop.
This class will be 2-3 hrs and is dedicated to the new, up and coming, socially inept, or just plain shy artist wanting to learn some technical tips of tattoo and some ways to become more involved in the “tattoo scene”, whether it be meeting other artists, magazine staff, or just new clients….knowing how to present yourself sometimes means more than your portfolio.
This workshop is going to cover the basics of communication, networking and using your own personality and confidence to bring you and your tattooing to an entirely new place. While I will be demonstrating my techniques and tips on my own photo-realism style of tattoo, I will also be discussing the huge importance of being who you are openly, and realizing/embracing your actual skill level and how to develop the added skills to move ahead in the grand scheme to ensure that you see and enjoy the full benefits of this trade.
Understanding the importance of the actual tattooing is one step, and knowing how to interact and use who you are to excel in this field socially is something most artists leave to chance. A great tattoo artist is just that, but once the ability to take advantage of public and private social interaction is added properly to the mix, the possibilities almost immediately opened up as do the opportunity for new and greater experiences. The convention circuit provides an amazing platform for this, and I can help you understand how to use this platform to the fullest.These are all things that will be covered and are usually never addressed at all, and if so are looked at in a poor light. Humble and quiet is nice, but one thing I have learned in my experience, it is not always memorable.
For other info, to book a spot, or just ask a question….
hit me up on Facebook:
or just find me on the floor to sign up.
*As an added bonus, i will be sharing some Karaoke tips, as well as how to pull off girls jeans, and the importance of accessorizing with said jeans the right way, as well as meeting your possible future ex wife at a convention.

BAMMA USA Presents Badbeat 4

Check Out one of Steadfast Brand’s sponsored fighter Jeremiah Martinez this weekend at Badbeat 4!

Local prospect Jack May will appear again in the BAMMA USA cage in a heavyweight tussle with New Mexico’s Jeremiah Martinez.  Although Martinez was dropped his last bout, he is looking to duplicate the outcome of his previous fight in June with another knockout.

After making their 3D debut this past December on satellite television, BAMMA USA will feature live cage fights at the Commerce Casino when they host Badbeat 4 on Friday, January 13, 2012. Badbeat 4 will be the first production of the New Year for the leader in Southern California mixed martial arts. The rapidly growing promotion is prepared for another non-stop year of fast action, hard-hitting and bone crushing combat sports entertainment.

Advertising & Inspiration

I love advertising.  Really, we all do.  It makes the superbowl fun for the non-sports fan, breeds amazing photographers, allows creatives to see their ideas 50 feet high, and let’s you know your favorite, albeit disgusting, sandwich is back at a fast food restaurant.

When it comes time to create a new campaign here at Steadfast, we get together and start tossing around ideas.  I’ll usually have one or two on-hand that I really believe in.  We take into consideration where it’s being seen, what we’re doing as a brand, any new trends, and what products have recently been released.  One of our newest ads was inspired by Instagram and the cell phone camera filter craze.

If you don’t have an iPhone or haven’t seen links to Instagram via Facebook or Twitter, it’s a newer social networking site.  It allows the users to communicate through photos taken with their cell phone, filter it with one of the many options, and share it with friends through the smartphone app.  Here is a sample of what an Instagram page looks like via web:

Jime Litwalk Instagram Page

I used Instagram’s color palette, fonts, and did a little rework with visual orientation so it would fit better in the magazines.  We shot the photo on a whim here at the office and I used my handy work to give it a vintage camera/ink filter.  Instead of “likes” from users I used the space to give credit to the Tiki’s collaborators: tattoo artist Jime Litwalk and Chris Parks of Palehorse Design.

Other than overall layout, my favorite addition to this ad is the QR Code.  It’s like an Easter egg for print!  Using your QR Code scanning app, you can access a special page via phone.  I won’t give away the secret, BUT feel free to be clever enough to scan your screen.

Steadfast Brand Easter Egg QR Code

Pick up a copy of Inked Girls magazine or Skin&Ink magazine to see this ad in print!  There’s something special about ink on paper, don’t you think?  I look forward to sharing more geek-outs on advertising and design here at Steadfast.
