Henry Lewis & Lango Olievera - Neon Knights
These two phenomenal artists currently have a show up at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco. I very much suggest you check it out if you get a chance, it’s up until March 31st.
Neither of the two guys realize (how would they?) but they’re both the reason I started this blog. I was visiting San Francisco several years back and my buddy wanted to get tattooed at Skull & Sword. Lango tattooed him and as I sat there looking at the art on the walls (like paintings by Shawn Barber) listening to Henry Lewis tell stories and watching Grime in the front room from afar I felt a very strong need to share art with everyone possible. So when I returned from SF to Mississippi I went about making Supersonic Electronic a full time art blog. So thanks Lango and Henry, ya’lls kindness at Skull & Sword that day was really meaningful to me.

I got this tattoo a couple days ago after making a very important decision about my life… It is the chemical structure for dopamine, which is a naturally occurring chemical in the brain that makes us feel happy and rewarded. High dopamine activity also occurs with the use of addictive, mood-elevating drugs. After recovering from a horrific car accident four years ago I became addicted to painkillers that helped the pain I felt from a shattered spinal column and the emotional pain from a destroyed family. But they slowly started to ruin my life, so I’ve hit the point now that I’ve decided that I want to get better and never have to live like this again. So the tattoo is a daily reminder that I can be happy without drugs or money or a happy family— or any external factors. I just have to want it and I just have to work at it.
This tattoo was done by Jules at Freaky’s in Boulder, CO. He did an excellent job; I LOVE IT!!
