After my tutorial with John I felt better about this submission and my presentation.
We spoke about how i'd contacted 5 professionals, but felt that any more wouldn't be relevant.
I was meant to contact 10 but as it isn't the field i'm going into, contacting art directors and agencies would be wasting time.
I have however contacted Illustrators, Illustrators turned tattooists and fellow apprentice's to find out answers to questions I have revolving around my chosen area, I couldn't think of anyone else that I wanted to talk to at this point in time, and contacting them with stock questions would be wasting my time and theirs.
I don't think it's integral to my practice.
I also think that working in a shop with 6 professional tattooists with over 30 years joint experience, I have enough people to talk to and contact.
Through my job I have also made links with Awesome Merchandise (the head printer, James), The owners of Red Temple Prayer and UK Custom Plugs.
I also have opportunities to work Brighton, Leeds and Edinburgh tattoo conventions over the next few years, which is full of professionals, machine makers and valuable industry contacts.
So I think i'll be fine.
