Tuesday, October 13th, 2009The famous tatoo of ed
As many people know the famous ed tatoo.
Don Ed Hardy ignored a Yale fine-art fellowship to pursue the art of tattoo, a timeless and often taboo tradition that captivated him since he was a young boy in the Orange County beach town of Corona del Mar. At the San Francisco Art Institute in the early ’60s, Hardy mastered the demanding art of intaglio etching under the tutelage of the late Gordon Cook, who instilled in Hardy a love of craft, Asian art and the quiet power of Giorgio Morandi’s little still life pictures. He has drawn images on torsos, canvases and giant scrolls with equal conviction and aplomb. A tattoo innovator and historian who expanded the palette and pictorial possibilities of custom-made body art; Hardy is also a prolific lithographer, painter and etcher. His images of devils, dragons, bearded ladies and are widely exhibited and collected. Hardy?s early tattoo images, the retro’ skulls, sailor girls and derby-topped dragons, have appeared on T-shirts, jackets, motorcycles and jeans, hats, and other items are sold worldwide under the Ed Hardy brand. Hardy has also published several books on the art of tattooing.

Sunday, October 11th, 2009Forty years ago, Don Ed Hardy blew off a Yale fine-art fellowship to pursue the rogue art of tattoo, a timeless and often taboo tradition that captivated him as a boy in the Orange County beach town of Corona del Mar. By 10 he was drawing cars and eagles on kids’ backs and arms with wet colored pencils and Maybelline eyeliner.
At the San Francisco Art Institute in the early ’60s, Hardy mastered the demanding art of intaglio etching under the tutelage of the late Gordon Cook, a no-jive blue-collar guy who instilled in Hardy a love of craft, Asian art and the quiet power of Giorgio Morandi’s little still life pictures. Cook wasn’t pleased when his gifted protege jumped into the socially murky waters of tattoo. But it worked out well for the plucky Hardy boy, who blurred the supposed boundary between “high” and “low” art and carved a path through the worlds of art and commerce. He has drawn images on torsos, canvases and giant scrolls with equal conviction and aplomb.
A tattoo innovator and historian who expanded the palette and pictorial possibilities of custom-made body art, Hardy, who will talk about his far-ranging work at a free slide-show lecture at Mills College on Wednesday, is also a prolific lithographer, painter and etcher. His blazing images of devils, dragons, bearded ladies and Buddhas — informed by old master etchings, 12th century Japanese “hell” scrolls and 19th century woodblock prints, Southern California hot-rod striping and the funk and humor of Bay Area art — are widely exhibited and collected. And for the past year or so, his early tattoo images, the “retro” skulls, sailor girls and derby-topped dragons now in vogue, have appeared on T-shirts, jackets, motorcycles and even energy drinks sold worldwide under the Ed Hardy brand.
There are now Ed Hardy stores in New York, Los Angeles, Tucson and Dubai. That $20 million-a-year business, of which Hardy gets a small slice for licensing his name and art, is the handiwork of French-born marketing ace Christian Audigier, who pushed the Von Dutch brand and now has everybody from Madonna to Larry King draped in Hardy. It’s a pleasing turn of events for an artist who made his bones tattooing daggered hearts and anchors on sailors in San Diego in the raffish old days before body art became respectable. Now it almost seems as if there’s a Starbucks and a tattoo parlor on every corner.
“Why do people get tattoos? I don’t know. I think it’s a completely primal urge,” says Hardy, 61. He’s lost track of how many he’s had put on his body since he got his first tattoo, a rose on the left shoulder, at Frisco Bob’s in Oakland four decades ago. “It’s one of those mysterious things. Based on the evidence, the frozen mummies, the oldest members of our species had tattoos. I think it predated cave painting.”
Then a star is rising.
