Skulls: a series by Kim Stace Thomas

Start: July 18, 2013, 6 p.m.

End: Sept. 1, 2013, 1 a.m.

Gallery show of a new series of paintings and drawings by tattoo artist Kim Stace Thomas.

This show is basically an exploration of skulls. Skulls are cool and everyone has one! There are themes of mortality, mythology and just plain badassery.

Kim Stace Thomas is an artist from Chicago, new to the Bay Area. "I just try to make things that look cool. I wish I could say I had some deep meaning behind my work but currently, I am purely visual. I love working in pen, ink, pencil and skin."

ARTIST RECEPTION: FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2013. 6:30-9:30pm at Mermaids Tattoo.
