    The Art of Making Art Your Way | Peter Mohrbacher

    In this episode of The Fireside, Jake sits down with Peter Mohrbacher — celebrated digital painter, character designer, and creator of the stunning Angelarium series. Peter shares how a nerdy teenager obsessed with anime and video games became one of the most recognizable names in fantasy illustration, with work spanning Magic: The Gathering, indie art shows, and a thriving freelance career built on Kickstarter and Patreon. They dig into Peter's unconventional creative process — including his use of gradient maps to find color — the evolution of the convention scene, how he got himself fired into a successful solo career, and why the most important part of a critique has nothing to do with anatomy or tangents. Peter will also be one of the headlining instructors at the Paradise Artist Retreat this October at Jiminy Peak, where he'll be leading a digital painting workshop.

    Building Tattooing's First Global Standard | Alex De Pase | International Tattoo Federation

    My special guest today is Alex De Pase, a name synonymous with innovation in the tattoo industry. Alex, along with Gabe Ripley and others, has been involved in transformative ventures like the Venetian Tattoo Gathering and recently the International Tattoo Federation (ITF). The ITF —a real federation, not just another association or collective. aims to set global standards in tattooing, a much-needed initiative in a world where the lines between excellence and mediocrity are often blurred. They are focused on the creation of actual standards in an industry drowning in confusion, where Instagram algorithms have convinced people that viral gimmicks equal mastery. This conversation covers everything from certification criteria and the Crystal Needle Award to Alex's new tattoo campus concept that's rewriting how we think about education in this craft.

    Everybody's Deco-Dancing with Cooper | Technique Talks

    Welcome back to another Fireside Technique Talk, where we dive deep into the technical aspects that separate good from exceptional tattooing. In this session with Cooper, we explored the fundamentals of color layering. Cooper shared essential insights into overcoming the technical barriers that keep many artists confined to smaller scale work, providing practical strategies for confidently transitioning into vibrant large-scale color applications that maintain their integrity over time.  From understanding how machine evolution has simplified color work to mastering the 60/30/10 color theory rule, this discussion covers the core techniques that will elevate both your efficiency and your results. Whether you're ready to expand from smaller pieces to large scale projects or simply want to understand the mechanics behind lasting color tattoos, these insights will fundamentally change your approach to every piece you create.
