    13 / ink & illustrations, from nyc to shanghai with chloe (@hare_goat_tattoo)

    in this guest episode of the Creatives Project, Felicity (@felicityzhangphotography) interviews Chloe (@haregoat_tat), a Shanghai-based illustrator and tattoo artist. we talk about chloe's experience training as an tattoo apprentice in soho, to her unique art journey now in graphic design + the tattoo industry in asia. chloe's unique approach to blending mediums and embracing new beginnings is a testament to her unique multidisciplinary approach to harnessing creativity3 about chloe: my name is Chloe, and I am an illustrator and a tattoo artist. I‘ve been interested in art since I was a kid, and it is almost an undoubted thing for me to pursue art. Thanks to my parents, I went to an art school in New York City called the School of Visual Arts and did my illustration major for 4 years. During school, I was constantly trying to find my art style and figure out my future art career. My illustrations are always line-work-based, using figurative lines to depict objects or elements to tell a story. When I had just gotten into college, I was still using a lot of non-digital mediums, and I gradually shifted to using pencil or ink pen to draw and digital mediums to paint. It gave a lot of new possibilities to my art works. The topics of my art, a lot of them or almost all of them, are related to humanities, like wars, human trafficking, the relationships between humans and other animals on the planet, etc. I really hope my works can speak my thoughts, and if one day they could make the world a little better. It would really satisfy me. After I graduated, I found it hard to survive as a freelance illustrator, so I started to look for another way out. That’s when I started my tattoo career. My tattoo flash sheets are still line-work-based. I really enjoy tattooing, especially when people tattoo my own flash or let me have the freedom to design what they want. Converting people’s ideas Into images, and people trust me to tattoo them. It is so much responsibility and so rewarding. As I grow up, now, I am no longer constrained by finding my own style; it is more important to create. Whatever you make is your children, is a part of you or a reflection of yourself. I feel extremely grateful for my capability to make art, and I hope I can make art my whole life. THANK YOU CHLOE FOR BEING ON THE POD AND GIVING ME A SICK TATTOO 33 hopefully see you in nyc soon! -------------------- let’s connect //  instagram: @felicityzhangphotography website: felicityzhangphotography.com appreciate you all so much, thank you for listening!! 3  music by @ryzy.a Hosted on Acast.
