Costa Rican tattoo artist Moises Kampos describes the responsibilities of his profession along with the changing culture in his country.

While traveling to Costa Rica we were researching for artists to interview. Though there seemed to be an influx of tattoo artists, Moises Kampos work stood out amongst a sea of artists. I think what really drew us in was the mixture of his tattoo work and personal paintings showcased on his social media account, showing us a greater range to his creativity and technique. While we also required a translator for his interview his kindness and good nature was shown beyond words and we immediately gravitated towards him. Moises has been in the industry for awhile and has seen the transition and growth of the tattoo community within Costa Rica change over time, learn more about him and get insight to the life of a Costa Rican artist!

Escoto + Carrara collaborate and bring together stunning photographs and oil paintings. They consider themselves as one artist but each bring their own individual talents to produce a look that is uniquely both of them. Check out their interview below and see how they manage to balance their personal relationship with one another while also making art together. 

Federico Escoto and Roberto Carrara live a little outside of the main city, we arrived at their house decorated with colorful walls and a kitchen surrounded by large windows overlooking a luscious green backyard. They rent their home from an architect so art surrounds them providing a quiet and inspirational place to work, Roberto is the photographer while Federico paints in oil. They found many years ago that they not only collaborated well as artists, but also as partners in life. We had not thought about interviewing a couple that worked together on the same piece as well as have a romantic relationship, the subject alone in itself was interesting enough and we enjoyed learning how they manage to balance work and life with one another.
