This is a career changing film, from a man that has succeeded on his own terms, and explains in vivid detail exactly how it can happen for anyone who is willing to put fourth the effort.

"This barrage of information is priceless, 15 long years in the making, from an artist who is ever changing our industry". East Coast Ink Magazine

"Tattooing is my life, I have lived for nothing but this art form for 15 years, and this is a collection of the fruits of that labor, and will give the viewer absolutely everything we have discovered to date about this industry and the equipment we use." - Brandon Bond

The Seminar DVD explains in painstaking detail exactly what to send to where, at what time, and in what form based on the content and audience. This section is dissected by both Brandon Bond and Joy Surles (Editor of Tattoo Review Magazine, Skin Art Magazine, Taboo Tattoo Magazine, Tattoos for Women Magazine, Tattoos for Men Magazine, and Hard Core Ink Magazine).

The seminar was filmed at two locations, Little Johns Greensboro Tattoo Convention where Brandon was doing a live seminar with Joy Surles about tattooing, color blending, black and grey and promotion was the first film location. The second was the luxurious A.N.T.I. Art Elite studio in Atlanta www.antiartatlanta.com www.antiartelite.com Multiple cameras were brought into this exclusive studio and remained for the duration of a tattoo created by Brandon "up close and personal". There are no distractions while tattooing in complete privacy and focusing on the execution of a full color piece from beginning to end. As Brandon discusses topics at the seminar, scenes of the actual tattoo process in up close detail interrupt the discussion. This allows to viewer to get both the live touring Seminar in its uncut entirety and simultaneously watch the private creation of a piece on his personal apprentice, Matt Dunlap. www.mjdunlap.com This project is 2 films blended into one.

Some of the topics include:

Selection of illustration
Photo reference
Body positioning
Furniture/equipment
Cropping an image
Talking clients into bigger and better artwork
Beginning a custom portfolio
Machines
Needles
Ink selection
Supply Companies
Color palette
COLOR BLENDING
How to get a client to be able to sit longer
Highlights
Negative space
When is a tattoo is really finished?
Aftercare, Healing, appt booking, multiple sessions, who to tattoo for free and who to charge, Internet helpers, digital graphics, advertising,
Open discourse of question and answer involving everything from making the stencil, whether to even use lines or not and how to properly do both.
Tattoo Photography
How to photograph an image, what magazines are looking for and how to get the right shots. Unhealed vs. healed tattoo photos, background, cropping, printing etc. Where to send it. How to get an ARTICLE in a tattoo magazine, what to send and what NOT to send, when and how often to send it, as well as web presence, promotion, running a business, attracting great artists to work for you and much more!!

"I start at the beginning and discuss image placement, selection of illustration, photo reference, body positioning, cropping an image, enlarging, talking clients into bigger and better artwork, beginning a custom portfolio, and then begin an technical discussion. An open discourse of question and answer involving everything from making the stencil, whether to even use lines or not and how to properly do both, machines, needles, ink selection, color palette, COLOR BLENDING, how to get a client to be able to sit longer, highlights, negative space, and when a tattoo is really finished. And that's just the beginning of the film. Next we cover everything about business, artists, promotion, money and the price of tea in China, it is everything broken down into extreme simplicity, but is not intended for the lazy". - Brandon Bond

and heres a description of the new film about dogs!

"VICKtory to the UNDERDOG, Hell and Back"

a film by Stranglehold Publications and El Haney Productions.







To Hell And Back is a vivid, behind-the-scenes look into pit bull rescue, chronicling the rehabilitation of 3 dogs seized from the property of NFL football Quarterback Michael Vick. Featuring tattoo artist Brandon Bond (two time international "Tattoo Artist of the Year" and owner of the renowned ALL OR NOTHING TATTOO studio) as well as his family and staff, we witness their heroic efforts to save the misunderstood American Pit Bull Terrier Breed (APBT) from dog fighting and abuse as well as breed-specific persecution.

The documentary follows Makaveli, 7 (named after Vick's number), and Chucky through the chaos that surrounded their rebirth into loving situations. Entering Brandon's home, offices, shelters, and studios, we get a first-person point of view in understanding the rehabilitation process and the rigors of dog socialization. It's an all-access adventure smothered in dog kisses.

Additional "Special Features" include behind-the-scenes discussion with Brandon about fostering, helping, legislation, and rescue, as well as never-before-seen scenes of all the dogs playing with each other and their new families as well as news footage uncut in its entirety.




While this project has been censored for child-friendly language and situations, the subject matter is sure to provoke the viewers to get involved with Brandon's cause.

100% of all proceeds from this film are going to www.atlantapitbullrescue.com, so thank you for helping us help them.

"In the realm of tattoo artists, Brandon Bond is one of the most well-known and sought after; his skills with ink are undeniable and virtually everyone knows that he can do a killer tattoo. However, what few know is that Bond is also in the business of saving pit bull's lives." PRICK MAGAZINE

"An artist who is ever changing our industry." East Coast Ink Magazine




"Michael Vick may be doing time, but three of his dogs are free at last, and enjoying their first taste of living in an Atlanta based foster care program.

"Brandon Bond is a man that needs no introduction." PRICK MAGAZINE




"According to Brandon Bond, who manages to take time from being one of the world's most sought after tattoo artists to save Pit Bulls, these 'bully breeds' are nearly always immediately euthanized after being confiscated from the people who fight them, even though he says he has not met a single one that did not turn into wonderful, loving pet." CBS News

"The hardest working man in Tattooing." Tattoo Savage Magazine




"Brandon Bond uses his huge network of friends and fans to place pit bulls in danger of being euthanized into good homes." Tattoo Revue Magazine

"Love him or hate him, Brandon Bond is one of the hottest players on the tattoo scene today." SKIN ART Magazine




"If you breed your dog just once and the resulting puppies are bred, and their are puppies bred, and so on, within 6 years you will be responsible for having put 67,000 dogs in the world! Wouldn't you rather have saved 6 or 7 dogs from a needless death?" Brandon Bond

These covers are awesome!!

[Raiden]

I'm really looking forward to seeing the 2 new dvds. If they are as informative as they are debauched it should be all good. I don't know if anyone has posted anything about the new All or Nothing bottle openers....so I will.

Imagine kickin it with your friends, family, stripper girlfriend...whatever...and you pull out a huge .50 cal bullet and open your drink with it. It's dope. We have them...and we are the only place you can get them.

c'mon....what cooler than a .50 cal bottle opener??

Buy one....actually....buy 10 of them!!!

[Nicole]

Have you seen the new commercial? its badass..

lunchboxxx sure does a great booty dance. haha

[maddscientist]

that commerical rocks!!!! i dont even tattoo but I want that table to beat a b1tc4 in the face with it, hahaha!!!

I love the run down of bad words that are absent from the sketch books. That's my favorite part.

By the way for those who don't know, when discussing the backboard being good for the tramp stamp, that picture includes apprentices Mondo, Jarvis, Raiden, and former apprentice Matt Heft. As you can tell, they are as sweet a bunch of boys as you could ever meet, so you should all come by, meet them, and have them set you up with a dope artist to get tattooed.

[ChinSmack]

Heh, I love the 'fully autoclavable...if you want to' line with the turn and grin, "which I highly recommend" - After all, you want to make sure your mutli-purpose beer holding, beating tray is sterile so that your b1tc4 doesn't get a facial infection in addition to the beat down, right?

[Nicole]

Im anxious about the new dvds coming!
