New set of flash, by Talley Matthew, available for purchase or tattoo

I recently made this set of tattoo flash, and you can now pick up your own museum-quality prints on thick matte paper sourced from Japan. Drawn by myself, Talley Matthew, in 2024.
Created and used as tattoo flash, but also as stand alone art pieces to add something special to your space. Get one or the whole set. And don’t worry you can still get tattooed by me off these sheets here in LA, or whenever you see me on the road.
Discover some of the eclectic world that I calls home. This print features vintage tattoo imagery, western americana, surreal, hand- drawn imagery of mythical figures, and occult symbolism.
Based on tradition while still moving forward. Email me at onwrdsandupwrds@gmail.com to set up your appointment.

A small selection of my work free of instagram

My work shouldn’t need to be censored, but I can no longer safely post to social media without my work getting flagged. Nothing is wrong with the body, and it’s a part of the art I am lucky to create with you. What can you do when you need to use social media to get my work seen. So, my answer is to save my real work for my site, and heavily censored work goes on social media. We shall see how it goes, just trying to adapt.

If you enjoy my work, getting or viewing, a great way to support myself and other artists is to share their work on social media, like and comment and then if you are ever able get tattooed, or buy some art work. I appreciate all of the support.

Anyways here is a few pieces I have been proud to create with clients. Some of them, one session, some of them many, and some of them just keep growing.

Thank you

Follow me on instagram @talleymatthew.

As always DM’s are not a great way to contact me, they get lost in the jumble so fill out a contact form to book, or email me directly at onwrdsandupwrds@gmail.com . I will always try to respond back to you in a timely manner, and if you are booking for the first time I will respond with a list of the information I ask in the contact form. It all helps me stay organized and to speed up the process.

Thanks you

Linocut Bandanna and Tote merch

I’ve been asked about merch from time to time. I made some linocuts recently, and printed them by hand on both bandanas and totes. A painful process at times, I may have stabbed myself once or twice carving the linoleum. Each print is unique and printed by hand. Only a handful were made, and most have been picked up from people coming in and seeing them. The ones I have left are being posted online to my store for sale, $25 for a bandana, $30 for a tote bag. What I have is what I have. Pick them up before they’re gone. Use the bags for groceries, hang the bandanna on a wall, or do what I do and give it to your dog to wear, like Tobi is here.

Hope you enjoy them and hope to make more merch soon if you’d like to get some.

Thanks for the support

Deathchant x Black Water Holy Light Colab

Been doing some more graphic design work lately. Bit of a learning curve but getting more familiar with a computer again. Made some artwork for my friends in Deathchant and Black Water Holy Light . They did a run of limited edition shirts for a show, and I think the few left over will be available through BWHL. Fun change of pace. Have some more projects in the works, and some of my own in process. Photos taken by @ovrwhlmd on instagram.
