Hang out with Boing Boing's favorite artists at Baby Tattooville

The publisher of Baby Tattoo books is holding a weekend event for 100 people to meet and hang out with great artists, many of them featured on Boing Boing. Early bird registration ends this week. It's being held at the Mission Inn Hotel and Spa in Riverside, California, on October 5-7, 2007.

Q: What is Baby Tattooville?

A: Baby Tattooville is a weekend-long event geared toward art collectors. The event is being called a "Limited Edition Retreat" because only 100 paying attendees will be allowed to spend the weekend participating in both scheduled and spontaneous experiences with the event's featured artists and special guests. In addition to social and educational interaction with fellow participants, Baby Tattooville attendees will receive surprise collectible items. The price of the event includes Friday and Saturday night hotel accommodations, a Friday night party with a no host bar, several informative panels and presentations, a Saturday night merchandise event and a Sunday brunch buffet. Registration is currently open, but will close as soon as 100 paid registration forms have been received.

Q: Who are the Baby Tattooville featured artists and special guests?

A: Gary Baseman, Tim Biskup, Gris Grimly, James Jean, Frank Kozik, Tara McPherson, Ragnar, Jeffery Scott (1019), Jeff Soto and Amanda Visell have been announced as featured artists as of August 6, 2007. Some special guests may also be revealed at a later date (maybe as late as at the event itself). An element of mystery is part of the whole Baby Tattooville vibe, so you need to be comfortable with the fact that we're going to keep you guessing. Unforeseen circumstances may prevent any given artist from attending, so individual featured artist participation is not guaranteed; however, there will be a blockbuster group of ten or more in-demand artists on hand for all of the festivities. You will not be disappointed.
