We didn't know it until our farewell brunch, but Baby Tattooville 8 was the second-to-last Baby Tattooville ever. For the uninitiated, Baby Tattooville is a weekend-long event celebrating the contemporary art community held at the Mission Inn in Riverside, CA. Organized by Bob Self and Baby Tattoo Books, this year's contingent included artists Laurie Lee Brom, Brom, Jeff Soto, Eric Fortune, Brian Smith, Miss Mindy, Brandi Milne, Joe Sorren, Johnny "KMNDZ" Rodriguez, Tara McPherson, Bob Dob, Gris Grimly, Lola, and Rick O'Brien. Collector's Shangri-La has been fortunate to participate for the past four years, and we had an incredible time as always!
