With the passing of Edward "Chuco" Caballero, the tattoo and art industry got together to publish a book in his honor. The crew from Good Time's Charlie's Tattooland actually got the project started before his passing to try to help him pay his medical bills. The art collection that started as a sketchbook outgrew itself with the overwhelming caliber of artwork that was sent in by some of the best artists from SoCal and around the world. Artists like Freddy Negrete, Jack Rudy, Pint, Horiyoshi III, Tony Salgado, Goethe, Espi, Chuy Quintanar, Tony Uno, Pedro Alvares, Franco Vescovi, Guy Aitchinson, Chee, Danny Boy, and shops like Shamrock Social Club, GTC Tattooland, Por Vida, Dermafilia in Mexico City, and State of Grace are just a few of the collections of artists you will see in the book, making it the best collection ever published and a must-have for your bookshelf.
After the release of the book, there will be a few book signings and galleries showcasing some of the original artwork that was published in the book. It will be sold in tattoo shops and will be available for purchase at various tattoo conventions and bookstores. If you're wondering what artwork will be in the book, here's a sneak peak of what will grace the pages of The Chuco Art Project book. Enjoy, and make sure you pick up a copy.
