Hello there. My name is Coriann Guthrie and I am attending UTA in hopes of receiving an Art Education degree. Although I am attending school for Art Education, I still desire to make a living as a solo artist or a tattoo artist. When I was younger, I drew a lot and continued to do so simply because people told me I was good at it. I had no appreciation for art. Part of that was due to the fact that I never really found artists to admire, so I was never inspired. Art was just recreating things you saw or doing whatever the teacher told you to. It was nice to be good at it, but I was never passionate about it. When I was around 15, my father started getting more tattoos, and on one trip to Tyson Turk’s tattoo shop, when I saw all the piercings and tattooing and whatnot, I fell in love with it. Drawing gained a meaning to me and I found my inspiration in desiring to become a tattoo artist. I soon started researching tattooists all around the world and became incredibly passionate about what I was doing. Around a two years ago, I was poking around Barnes & Noble in search of Tattoo Magazine when I came across a magazine called Hi-Fructose. It’s a magazine that focuses on incredibly unique work that they say “transcends genre and trend.” It is a magazine that contains a lot of original new contemporary and lowbrow art. It is where I first came across pop surrealism and I was blown away. I was inspired by every single page I flipped through, and that was when I decided that I didn’t really care what I did with my life as long as it was art related. I would love to tattoo, and I would love to teach, but I just want to make art and make an impact on others with my work. This blog is where you’ll see a lot of the work that inspires me and my practices. My name is Cori, your local chump, and I am an artist.

A “vampire grave” in Bulgaria holds a skeleton with a stake through its heart. It’s a skeleton from the 13th century. The remains once belonged to a man who was likely in his 40s. An iron rod had been hammered through his chest to keep the corpse from rising from the dead and disturbing the living. His left leg had also been removed and placed beside the corpse
At the time of the man’s death, vampires were perceived as a real threat in many Eastern European communities. People who died unusually—from suicide, for example—were sometimes staked to prevent them from coming back from the dead. (Source) (You may also like: Frankenstein Mummies)
