BIOGRAPHIES:

My name is Jason Ackerman, I have been tattooing for 7 years in South Florida and am an award-winning artist .I began my tattoo career in Boca Raton where I apprenticed at Big Kahuna Tattoo. Since parting from Big Kahuna, I've made a home back in Boca at my own shop A Stroke Of Genius . Throughout my profession, I've been fortunate enough to incorporate traveling to various guest spots and conventions, which are a pinnacle to me in this business. I enjoy the opportunities to tattoo among some of the best and most inspiring artists around while visiting locations that allow me to remain accessible to my clients. Most of my time is devoted to tattooing and producing pieces that I'm ardent over. Due to the fact that I'm constantly able to combine my work ethics and love for art, tattooing has become my life and the time and effort that I put into drawing and tattooing allows me to produce work in a style that I love. My tattoos are a culmination of anything bright, creepy, and loud with my own twist on it. I'm highly influenced by the new school scene and am honored to be able to contribute to it. My goal is to grow with the tattoo industry and my peers, while maintaining the passion that I feel for the pieces I create.

Timmy B - currently living and tattooing in Long Island, NY; soon to open up a shop in North Hampton, MA. Timmy has been tattooing for almost 9 years now. His Can Art consisted of the actual word Rockstar as pertaining to musicians. It then transpired to his own passion in music, which then interpreted to his decision to create a base headstock with some popular traditional imagery of snakes and roses on the can art. Timmy started out doing a lot of realism mostly before social media really began. Timmy stated After seeing the kind of realism artists out there like Nikko, Roman, Mike DeVries, I pretty much stopped doing realism pretty quick. (laughing) He ended up going to work for a traditional artist that really knew how to light a fire under my ass for sure. Timmy B said, Being apart of the Rockstar Energy Inked Up Tour is humbling. I'm pretty much in competition with my idols. While at the Detroit Expo Timmy did two phenomenal pieces. The first was a re-work from a previous Detroit year, a hairdresser type of neo-traditional tattoo keeping to pinks and purples to keep it girly. The other tattoo was a fancy gentleman goat looking back as if he is mad at a bartender for giving him some bad scotch. Timmy B is part owner of Tattoo Afterlife in Huntington NY and has 4 cats.

Bili Vegas: I have been passionate about art since I had the dexterity to hold a crayon or cover myself in finger paint. As a child living in New York, I was able to experience the many museums and galleries densely packed in and around Manhattan. From early on, I was also exposed to my brother in-law's tattoo shop a few hours away. It was only a matter of time before I began my apprenticeship at a small custom shop on Long Island. I am currently working at Tattoo Ritual in Farmingdale, NY . I prefer to work with hyper-realism, portraiture, biomech, and some newskool; however I also love to take on new challenges and difficult tasks. I enjoy the smell of gasoline, steak dinner, and my favorite song is Lick my love pump (in D minor.) Bili is currently working and accepting appointments at Tattoo Afterlife in NY.

Megan Jean Morris, the owner of Painted Souls Tattoo, is a tattoo artist and a painter. She specializes in portraits, realism, and surrealism in black and grey or color. In 2005, Megan Jean worked and studied as an apprentice under Adam Gordon at Mr.Adam's Tattoos in Farmington, Maine. She continued working at Mr. Adam's for five years while developing an understanding for the many different aspects of tattooing.

Craters & Freighters Phoenix Moves, Ships and Installs Senator Goldwater Statue

Craters & Freighters Phoenix was selected to oversee the moving, shipping and installation of a 1,700 lb, eight-foot tall bronze statue of Senator Barry Goldwater and its 30 granite base, which now stand tall in our State Capitol. In the coming months we will uninstall the statue, bring it back to our shop, then convey the statue to its final destination in Statuary Hall in Washington D.C.

Our crew picked up the bronze statue, which took Arizona artist Deborah Copenhaver-Fellows more than 27 months to create, from the Petersen Creations foundry in Prescott, Arizona. It was carefully secured and lifted off its marble base with a forklift and then positioned on a custom pallet. After the statue was wrapped securely, we lifted it up into the truck and nailed the pallet to the floor.

In a collaborative effort with Tempe Crane we orchestrated the statue's installation at the Arizona State Capitol. First, we laid down wooden boards to protect the historic tile floor from the weight of the statue. After the statue and base were wheeled in, an elaborate gantry system was erected in the rotunda in order to hoist the statue onto its granite base. It took 6 men to lift Goldwater to a standing position. Once in place, a parachute was draped over the Goldwater statue to conceal it before its official unveiling.

This video chronicles our work on the project to date. It's set to Native American flute music as Goldwater had a deep connection with Arizona's Smoki Indians, who made him an honorary chief. The bronze statue actually has a Smoki tattoo on its left forearm from the ceremony. Equally interesting is that the parachute which draped the statue was donated by Arizona's National Guard, an organization founded by Goldwater.

We've had the privilege of working with some wonderful people including artist Deborah Copenhaver-Fellows and her husband- artist Fred Fellows, Arizona's Secretary of State Ken Bennett, Senator Adam Driggs, and the staff at the Arizona Capitol Museum and the Arizona Historical Advisory Commission, among many others.

Craters & Freighters Phoenix is honored to have been entrusted with a piece of Arizona's history and be a part of this momentous event.
