I created this mural for the Old is Gold cafe located in Magil. The brief required a mural that introduced some colour into the space with the intention of a sunrise scene. The outcome is what you see, a bird perched on the branch of the coffea tree surrounded by its abundant fruits and the morning dew. This painting took around 14 hours to complete and was made using only aerosol cans.
Before tattooing, Vaughn studied visual arts at the University of South Australia, where he majored in drawing and painting. Needless to say, art is more than just a hobby for him; he lives to create and creates to live. Tattooing was the ideal career that catered to his passion to create art and constant drive to improve the work which in turn contributes to his growth as a person.
Vaughn does not adhere to a single tattooing style, instead strives to adapt to the demands of the customer and aims to be the most flexible artist he can be. In saying that, he embraces a challenge, whether it's covering an existing tattoo or conceptualising a collection of ideas into a fluent and stylish design you'll be happy to wear for the rest of your life. However, the style he enjoys the most is fine line black and grey style.
Nothing makes him happier than pushing his ideas and artistic talents, whether it's screen-printing his own merchandise or customising skateboards. He believes that expressing himself via numerous forms of media keeps him motivated and inspired, compelling him to do his best work inside the tattoo studio. As art imitates life, Vaughn models his life to imitate art.
