An Innovative Inspiration: Lauren Boulden

An Innovative Inspiration: Lauren Boulden

20-year-old art student, Lauren Boulden has built a broad portfolio including a plethora of Prismacolor products like the Premier Colored Pencils and Charcoal Pencils to name a few. Growing up  in Midlothian (about 20 minutes from Chicago), her art imbibes a certain urban influence as she hones her skill to one day become a tattoo artist. Tapping into the digital Prismacolor Gallery and community, she hoped to receive a well-rounded critique of her art, as well as build a strong network of fellow artists, but she hadn’t planned on catching our attention.

Jaime Ames Navarro

I’ve been on the hunt for a skilled charcoal artist to feature for about a month now, and luckily for me, I met Jaime Ames Navarro, Chicag0-based tattoo artist at Code of Conduct Tatttoo. Before I met him, I was doodling in a fold out chair while a friend of mine was getting a tattoo at the shop, and I saw a small sketch pad with some Prismacolor Charcoal Pencils beside it. The book belonged to the artist inking someone else, but that didn’t stop me from asking him about his work. A man of few words, Navarro shares a little bit of his life with us.
