Today I visited Dave Davenport, owner and operator of Marginalized Tattoos, in Los Angeles, California. http://www.dogspunk.com/ I was dropping off postcards advertising the upcoming Bent-Con 2, December 3 and 4 http://bent-con.org/ , at the Westin Bonaventure in beautiful downtown Los Angeles. http://deals.westin.com/Westin-Bonaventure-Los-Angeles-Hotel-1004/so.htmlThe postcards will be distributed this Sunday at the Pornathon Parking Lot Party/Beer Bust at The Faultline Bar, http://www.faultlinebar.com/next door to Marginalized Tattoos. The Pornation is intended to be a fundraiser for Being Alive and Bent-Con 2.
When I entered the tattoo parlor, Dave was working on the arm of a large, muscular, hairy, handsome middle aged man dress only in shorts, with his legs spread toward me. I was appropriately impressed, sat the box of postcards on a nearby horizontal surface and sat watching Dave and his human canvas. I was introduced to Wade Neff, porn model (though not actor). He will be participating in Sunday’s Pornation, though in what capacity, I’m not sure. I asked and received permission to do a sketch of Wade, and to post this drawing on my blog. If you want to see Wade in person, and donate to Being Alive and Bent-Con 2, be at the Faultline Bar this Sunday between 2 and 7 PM.
