Paco Excel
The Perpetual Student
Interview by Crash |
Co-founder of the NewSkool Collective, Paco Excel has earned quite a reputation the last several years. He's not only known for doing some straight dope traditional tattooing, but also for ripping into artists' portfolios when asked for a critique or loudly proclaiming his opinions on certain subjects which he views as "sacred". It's understandable why some people have a hard time with that, most of the artistic world would prefer being stroked to being taught; nevertheless, Paco is only trying to give to others what he himself was given by his teachers, many of whom are considered masters in this art form. Nothing can help your art progress like a good dose of reality slapping you in the face … whether you like it at the time or not.
