Today, we’re diving into the mind of a true artist who seamlessly blends painting and tattooing into his creative journey. Meet Jay Bez Talentu, whose unique approach and honest insights give us a glimpse into the life of a multidisciplinary artist.
1. What inspired you to combine painting and tattooing? How do these two art forms influence each other in your work?
Jay Bez Talentu: Malování a kreslení mě baví už od základky. Můj brácha nějakou dobu tetoval, dokonce i mě, a když “odložil” strojek, půjčil jsem si ho a vlastně mě to dost chytlo :).
Translation: I have enjoyed painting and drawing since elementary school. My brother tattooed for a while, even tattooed me, and when he “put down” the machine, I borrowed it and got really into it :).
2. What is the most unusual or shocking tattoo request you’ve ever received? And did you end up doing it?
Jay Bez Talentu: Růži na dámské přirození a nakonec z toho sešlo :D..
Translation: A rose on a woman’s private area, but in the end, it didn’t happen :D.
3. If someone gave you total creative freedom, what tattoo or painting would you create, and who would you choose as your canvas?
Jay Bez Talentu: Poslední dobou mi lidé dávají tolik svobody při tvorbě, že tvoříme návrh téměř až při sezení 🙂 Čehož si nesmírně vážím. Rád tvořím abstrakce a je jedno, kdo by to byl.
Translation: Lately, people give me so much freedom during the process that we create the design almost during the session 🙂 I truly appreciate that. I love creating abstract pieces, and it doesn’t matter who the canvas is.
4. Have you ever refused a client because of their idea or personality? What led to that decision?
Jay Bez Talentu: Někdy mi píšou hodně mladí lidé a podle mě ještě pořádně nevědí, co chtějí, tak je potřeba si o tom motivu promluvit, je to přece na celý život. Co se týče osobnosti, tak někdo, kdo nemá žádný respekt ke mně a je ještě k tomu drzý, tak u mně moc nepochodí.
Translation: Sometimes very young people write to me, and I feel they don’t yet fully understand what they want, so it’s important to discuss the idea since it’s for life. As for personality, if someone has no respect for me and is also rude, they don’t get very far with me.
5. What piece of work – painting or tattoo – has meant the most to you, and why is it so special?
Jay Bez Talentu: Asi bych nevybral jen jedno. Největší význam pro mně mají tetování s příběhem (i skrytým), kde jsem měl volnou ruku a klienti se stali později i mými přáteli.
Translation: I probably couldn’t pick just one. The most meaningful tattoos are those with a story (even a hidden one), where I had creative freedom and where clients later became my friends.
6. What would you do if you had never pursued art? What would be your “alternative career”?
Jay Bez Talentu: Abych řekl pravdu, tak vše, co dělám, co mě baví, se točí kolem umění. Asi si teď nedokážu představit, že bych dělal něco jiného.
Translation: To be honest, everything I do and everything I love revolves around art. I can’t imagine doing anything else right now.
7. Which film, book, or music album always gives you a creative boost or inspires you?
Jay Bez Talentu: Poslední dobou je to album Clancy a Trench od Twenty One Pilots. Dřív jsem poslouchal jen hip hop a rap, ale teď je to taková všehochuť.
Translation: Lately, it’s the albums Clancy and Trench by Twenty One Pilots. I used to listen only to hip hop and rap, but now it’s a mix of everything.
