Thrash Lab “Profiles” Norm, owner and artist at Will Rise Tattoo Studio in Los Angeles on Fairfax. Norm’s path as a tattoo artist all started with his passion for graffiti and now he is known worldwide for his lettering (he does tattoo tours in Japan)! His artistic style is a “hybrid of the gangster sh*t and the American traditional together.” Check out his technique, his craft and how he plans to continue to rise.

Visit the official website for Norm Will Rise.
We recommend following Norm on Instagram for close-up visuals of his detailed tattoos.

Thrash Lab “Profiles” Molly Schiot – an artist embracing the Los Angeles lifestyle one road-trip, one surf, one homemade Kombucha at a time. Her imaginative, playful and whimsical style is revealed through her work as a director and her shining personality. You will adore her and her dog Maddy in our newest video.

We featured Molly’s animation series she did on Los Angeles with l.a.Eyeworks.
To see the sandwich people she animates come to life watch her most recent video project with Charlie White for his Music For Sleeping Children compilation (it’s amazing).
