A BIT OF CHRISTMAS FROM CLANDESTINE REPUBLIC

What a great idea!!!

Here it is from the CR web-site:

"It's that time of year again, already, creeping up slowly just around the corner and here's a little something we came up with that might make it a bit easier this year. 

Instead of the usual, slightly insulting, after the holidays sales we're all use to seeing by now, from "Boxing day" to all sorts of "after Christmas" specials, we've decided to try to help out instead of trying to make you feel stupid for buying something that turns up cheaper a few weeks after you needed it. Firstly, we've all decided Clandestine Republic would never have after Christmas sales, as a general thing but rather give you a bit of a discount before, when you actually need it. Being a very small independent business, we really can't afford to offer these kinds of deals on any or all of our inventory but books that were released last year are totally fare game, we all agreed. So here's our first ever Clandestine Republic Pre-Christmas sale and how it all works.

This year, the first edition, special hardcover RED BOX season 1 will be available for pre-Christmas orders from the 1st of November till the 1st of December for $50 US and will be shipped for free, anywhere in the world. 

That's a $24 US discount. 

Christmas Red Boxes will also be wrapped and ready to put under the tree and all that we ask is that you make very clear in your orders, who the book will be for, helping us avoid lengthy e-mailing confirmation delays.

 I really can't think of anything that would make a better Christmas present for anyone this year. 

These types of Pre-Christmas deals, I strongly believe, can also totally be expected in the future. "

WORD!!

Everybody loves the Red Box...

It's true!!

Get yours too!!




Bunch of other news coming too... Just not enough time to post about it... Bear with me here for a few more days!!

You Rock!!!

EPIC MEGA NEWS UPDATE... Read all about it...

Mhm... Yup! Here's an epic mega news update!!

I've been so damn busy with everything... You know how it goes... Haven't been able to manage any time for this fine Plog of mine!! So things I need to blog keep piling up and piling up... One fine day, I'll manage to be back on a more regular blogging schedule... One fine day!! I got so much cool shit coming up!! Until then, here's a news update of a bunch of stuff you might be interested in!!

TATTOOS

-TATTOOS IN HONG KONG

I am absolutely still tattooing in Hong Kong and have added a bunch of extra available tattoo days in the coming month to catch up for the last few months! So if you're one of these interested people... Get in touch with me!!

Also, as soon as I get back to Hong Kong after my next Euro trip (eta: end of February/early March) I plan on raising my hourly prices! Yup! See the thing is there is just not enough consistent work for me here in HK and I just keep getting quicker and quicker and well... It's time to update (been 4 years since I last updated my prices)! So this will only affect all new pieces started after I get back in March! I'm not quite sure what the new hourly price will be just yet (1800 to 2000 HKD/hour) but I will let you know in detail how it all works soon! Just wanted to give everyone a head's up!

My prices in other countries shouldn't be affected!

Ask away.... pick@electricpick.com


-SOUTH AFRICAN TATTOO TRIP

Because of the very little interest (read, zero interest) I've received from my next Cape Town tattoo trip, I've decided to cut my loses and drop doing the convention! So yeah... I'm not doing the show!! Too broke to burn dough right now! But I will still be going and will still have a few available spots for tattooing in Cape Town at a guest spot following the show instead! So if anyone out there wants something from me while I'm there... I'll most probably be able to hook them up! If not, then I'll be at the Dubliner on Long street killing 27 rand pints of Castle Milk Stout for a week!!!

Word

-EURO TATTOO TRIP

Added a few more dates for Berlin! The thing is I keep adding days for people who write to me about it but then figured it wasn't fair for those of you who follow the rules! So I'm making it official to everyone now... If you wanna come down to Berlin at the end of February for some tat action... I added a few days worth!

Let me know... pick@electricpick.com

RED BOX

-DISTRIBUTION

Hell yeah!!! The Clandestine Republic distribution network is growing!! Now it might not look like much right now but we're pretty new so... I think it's starting to look good! Our first objective was to, apart from Hong Kong, have at least a few boxes in the US and Europe before Christmas!! We're constantly expanding it too so keep an eye out for new spots that we will do our best to list on the web-site as regularly as possible!!

Have a look!


-SHIPPING/ORDERS

Although your Red Boxes ordered since this last week will most probably not make it on time for Christmas, we're still shipping Red Boxes almost every day everywhere!! To all of you who have ordered the Red Box, thanks so much for the support! I'm sure now that you can hold it in your hands that you can see how epic of a project that was to make and I hope you love your Red Boxes as much as I loved making them!!!

To all of you who are thinking of getting one... I promise your Red Box will bring you eternal happiness... Yeah you bet!!

Tat stuff & stuff...

Ladies and Gentlemen… And here's a bit more tattoo news of the day for ya!!

I'm adding stuff to the calendar right away… I seem to have some new tattoo developments you might be interested in…

OCTOBER/NOVEMBER/DECEMBER            HONG KONG                        

I am extremely limited for tattoo time and pretty much all booked up for most of November and all of December but have added a few available dates for the end of October here in Hong Kong. So if interested… Hit me up now (asap) before I book those too!!

pick@electricpick.com

JANUARY/FEBRUARY                       CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA

Will be trippin' to Cape Town, South Africa, just in time for that convention of theirs (last weekend of January)… Am booking a booth as we speak with some buddies and well, I just thought some of you might be interested (my first convention in 5 years)!! I'll have to come up with a stupid yet interesting system for any work done at the convention and therefore won't book anything ahead but I will be sticking around town for a few weeks after the show and am booking those few available spots ahead!

So if you might be interested in getting something done by me down there… Let me know!!

I have about 8 spots to fill and am opening them now!

Send me a mail with what, where on your body and roughly how big (one shots only, I'm afraid but that can be as big as ya want… I guess max 8 hours… That's like a "half sleeve" without the armpit… Roughly…).

Get your Paypal ready for a deposit and… Wait… I got to figure out how much per hour first!!! Ok I'll have to ask and so gimme a day before I have a quote for the 2 hours deposits…

ok yeah… After that (mid February) I will be going back up to Europe for more workings… There will be Copenhagen dates but also other towns too… Right now am thinking of maybe: UK… Poland… Holland… Just got to plan this a bit better before I book!!!

Ok that's the tattoo news of the day!!

Stay fresh!

Penny P.

Hey what-up!? 

Been like crazy insane busy so like... Don't have much to show... Or even the time to upload shots from my camera... So like... Gimme a bit more time for some tat-a-magig tat action up here but until then... Here's a quick sneak peek at what I'm currently spending 25 hours a day on... (the Red Box)...

Penny P. aka Penelope Purpleton aka Eliot Suicide shot, doodled and Red Box-ified!! 

More as soon as I find time!!! Promise promise!!

But before I leave I will say this... Next Wednesday's Red Box session will be awesome!!!! Start doing your mind blowing push-ups!!!


Ok got to run!!!

“one giant leap for mankind”

That's it... I'm outta here!

Flying out in the morning for a long and painful flight back home but oh, how I can't wait to be back home!!

Thanks again, Denmarkia... It's been real as always!





However, In other much sadder news of the day...

One of my true childhood heroes and mankind's most daring adventurer 

has just left us for his final journey...

Farewell Captain Armstrong!

LOST IN SPACE... DAY... ?

Hey what-up!?

Couldn't find a second to post in the last few days... 

Have forgotten to take a lot of shots for the Plog and for the Instagrams too, So... Yeah! Please forgive this heavily distracted schedule of mine but it's been quite hectic indeed the last few days!!! Lot's of workings, lots of visitors and lots of happenings!! I should eventually manage to update everything for your viewing desires, however... For now... Here's where I think we left off...

Did a bunch of patching up weird empty spaces between some other stuff all day on this sleeve... The whole thing is finished but sadly I think this next shot is the only spot with enough surface to show anything!!

More day's doings asap!!!!

Until then, here's what my new buddy, Matthew Gordon did of me last week!!!!!!! He must be really bored after a week in Copenhagen to dedicated his evenings to this project but what an awesome piece!!!! I've never had someone give me a painting of me before... sniff ... This is pretty cool!!!

Thanks buddy!!!!!!!

And yes... This is what I look like nowadays... Same as before but with a 15 year old Taliban's beard!! 5 more months to go on this bad boy and it should look like a 17 year old's!!!

Ok ok... Enough about my beard and more about nothing... I'm out a here!

Stay awesome!!! 

We're on the side of the demons...

... We're evil men in the gardens of paradise

Sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction
 wherever we go...

So like... I'm off to the jungles of northern sweden for some super secret spy 
shit for the next few days so... 

I hope you don't need anything from me till I'm back on Monday!

Stay safe out there!

THE HORIZON

That's it that's all I is outta here!

Plog ya from NEurope as soon as I get there!!

For the one's out there suspecting me of actually taking a vacation up there… You don't know me well at all!!! If you're one of those interested in day's doings… Keep an eye on this here blog for the next few weeks… I'm suspecting daily day's doings to be posted!!!

Take care out there and catch ya on the flip side!
