True Blue Art Supply

True Blue is proud to welcome Taylor Cort as our local artist of the month for October, 2011.  

Taylor is best-known as a tattoo artist, having originally apprenticed in Boone before making his way to Asheville.  His artist statement is short and sweet – “I like to paint skulls.”

Taylor will have several pieces available for purchase through the end of the month – oils, acrylics, colored pencil, and even small polymer clay figurines. Taylor’s horror-themed imagery makes an eerie backdrop for your October visits to True Blue.

Come by and see for yourself! Can’t make it by this month? – See more of Taylor’s artwork here.
