Rick Genest is
Zombie Boy is exactly who he is, inside and out; his self-confidence and physical look inspired and fascinated people worldwide. Rick Genest (born on Aug. 7, 1985) also known as Zombie Boy is a Canadian artist, actor, and fashion model who has fascinated the world with his full body skeleton tattoo. Looking like a decomposed corpse is definitely different; his uniqueness has led him on a successful path. Before he had any tattoos, Zombie Boy was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Zombie Boy was on the waiting list for six months, where he contemplated his own life and possible death, before undergoing the surgery with minimal complications. Leaving his house one day, he went for a walk and decided to live downtown, on rooftops and in dumpsters or under bridges. Tattooed as a zombie, he also worked in various sideshows and freakshows across Canada as an illustrated man. Genest rose to fame in 2011 when he appeared in Lady Gaga’s music video, “Born this Way.” Since then, he has worked with fashion designers, posed for Vanity Fair, has become the face of Jay-Z’s Rocawear clothing, and starred in movie “47 Ronin” with Keanu Reeves. ×

AN ENCHANTED UNIQUE ART
WOOD & INK Dutch tattoo artist Kirsten Roodbergen has decided to take her tattoo designs off the skin and create completely unique wooden products. Kirsten Roodbergen is a tattoo artist from Amersfoort in The Netherlands, who has been tattooing for 6 years, but has now decided to dedicate her free time to drawing original tattoo designs on wooden hands and slices. She first sketches the designs with pencil, and then finishes them off with acrylic markers to produce stunning, unusual wooden products that are all available to buy from her online shop, Inkspired.

She makes emotive black-and-white illustrations of nocturnal creatures like wolves, owls and bats, each beautifully framed by the irregularly shaped raw tree bark. Apart from drawing on wooden slices, she has also used wooden mannequin hands as the basis for larger illustrations. Using striking tattoo imagery like creepy skulls, bold red hearts and magical all-seeing eyes, these quirky wooden products could make for perfect individual Christmas gifts for any tattoo-lovers!
