When Black Umbrella Tattoo reached out looking for assistance in kicking off their art gallery reopening, we couldn’t resist! Not only did we already love their team and admire what they do, our shared community of talented creatives has had nothing less than positive things to say about their wonderful experience featuring their work in the art gallery. 

A fellow friend and talented artist, April Solomon, stepped in and did the first solo art show upon the shop returning from COVID, which gave us the time needed to pull together our designs. After all, if we were going to do an art show, we were going to make sure it had dinosaurs in it. Go big or go home, right?   Even better, one of our valued partners, Whalebird Kombucha, sponsored the opening event and provided delicious drinks for all to enjoy! Pretty sweet deal if you ask us. 

The grand gallery opening, aka the Dyno-Mite Art Show, was held on May 21, 2022. The art gallery continued to feature our designs from May 21st  through June 25th. We are proud to take part in Black Umbrella Tattoo’s mission to expand their shop, find more artists to expose to the world, and promote the craft of tattooing. Aside from being amazing tattoo artists and all around genuine people, they also work incredibly hard at developing their shop as a platform for self-expression, bringing more unique voices into the world of tattooing and the art world overall.
