"Escorpian" is classic Acrow — a tattoo-flash icon brought up to date, drawn from the visual world of "Future Past," his solo exhibition at Fingerprint Gallery. The scorpion has been needled into more arms and inked across more denim than almost any other figure in tattoo history; Acrow handles it with the affection of someone who has actually drawn it a thousand times, and pushes the colour and line into territory that feels closer to a comic-book splash page or an arcade attract screen.
A working Vancouver multidisciplinary artist with deep roots in graffiti and tattooing, Acrow signs every piece. One of one. Available now at Fingerprint Gallery.
