My name Is Conan, I was born in Connecticut and also went to college there studying history. Art was always something I used to escape, never something I thought could shape who I am and what I love to do. I’m what you call an Autodidact, which means I am self taught.

About 10 years ago I saw tattoos that were a new style at the time: color realism. One was a color portrait of Will Ferrell actually. When I saw this it lit a fire that is burning still, I couldn’t believe a tattoo like this could even be achieved – I was on a mission.
