Sick? Yeah. You'd better believe it.
Jon Clue does tattooing as a side job, to earn a little extra cash. His career as an oil painter has allowed him to really explore his style.
Here are two of his oil paintings. They are large canvases.
What's awesome is when I met Jon it wasn't to be tattooed. We met on Myspace (yeah, I know), and I looked at his art and was absolutely speechless, which is the normal reaction I have learned from showing him off to friends.. Well, either that or they can't shut up.
He invited me to come hangout at his place, with him and his cat Mizu, who is a hairless Sphinx. Mizu is vicious in the cute way, he stalks guests and makes many attacks during a conversation.. But watching Jon Clue hug and kiss him makes it all okay.
Even if you're totally against tattooing, because its permanent and you think its stupid, or its against your religion or because "how will you look when you get old?!", or whatever.. there is no way you can look at this work and say that it isn't amazing art.
Here is the savant at work, lol, but really.. He's an awesome guy. Very down to earth, humble, focused.. I always feel lucky to be his friend :) 
He was super chill, and his art was amazing.
