Artist Focus: Jaes Next up on our team is Jaes Bidwell. Jaes is our resident old-school and illustrative traditional artist who once again diversifies and adds to our variable palette of artists. Jaes draws inspiration from folk-art, old-school tattooing, and nautical themes; he is a Freo boy through-and-through.
Jaes has been tattooing for 7 years now but is an experienced artist who has worked in creative industries for over 20 years now. His tattoo work is bold and distinctive but has its foundations in the flavour of artwork that started it all. Jaes finds a great deal of inspiration through traditional tattoo themes, traditional folk art, occult symbolism and the rich maritime history of Fremantle, believing that the tattoo as an image is a symbol in itself that represents, stands for, or suggests an idea, visual image, belief, action, or material entity.
