A post by Iestyn flye , scarCon london

A post from me that’s not about history?
I know, I know. But I’m looking at things
in the long view- eventually ScarCon will
join my own ScarWars event as a nodal
point in the history of Scarification, so….
this post is just coming a bit early!
Ron Garza is one of my oldest friends, and
along with Steve Haworth is someone I
consider to be directly responsible for the
way that Western scarification has
evolved. He’s influenced the best in the
world and in 2006 at Scarwars LA I was
honored to present him with the ‘Keith
Alexander Award for the Advancement of
the Art and Culture of Scarification’. To
date he’s the only artist who’s been given
this award. He recently hosted ScarCon;
an international gathering of Scarification
artists hosted in London England and has
graciously contributed photos exclusively
to ModBlog and Scarwars (so check there
for pictures not included in this update!)
The artists for the inaugural London
ScarCon were: Christiane Lofblad, Ryan
Ouellette, Bruno BMA, Iestyn Flye, Ron
Garza and Brenno Alberti .
