Check out The Tara Art Project

2008 November 5

While researching for goodnessknowswhat for whoknowswhy, I came across this very interesting group known as The Tara Art Project which has gathered over 60 tattoo artists worldwide to create artwork related to various Tibetan iconography and deities.

Initially their focus was to be to gather artwork primarily around Tara, but with the list of artists growing exponentially, it was decided to expand this focus to be much wider.

They are looking to raise money for the Free Tibet Campaign through the sale of this generously donated artwork that is displayed at locations all over the globe. A book is also available and features over 40 full page, full color images by artists such as: Sabine Gaffron, Wido de Marval, Aaron Bell, Jondix, Rinzing, Daniel Albrigo, Jeff Gogue, Matthew Amey, Alex Binnie, Dawni and Gerry Carnelly

While we’re on the topic of tats, do check out The Worst Horse’s post on Buddhist-inspired tattoos on the “Body Vows” section of the website

    TMcG,

    that myspace-link of The Tara Art Project didn’t work in my laptop? But some of those The Worst Horse’s tattoos were pretty cool! And Sabine Gaffron’s webpage is quite unique.

    Thanks for this post.

    Take care,
    Uku

    Thanks for the comment Uku. I think I’ve fixed the problem with the myspace link so it should work for you now.

    Sabine Gaffron’s webpage is amazing! It’s truly living art!
