Faith Driven Entrepreneur

“Entrepreneurs often navigate unique challenges while holding onto their faith values, but what about those who work in unconventional work spaces like tattoo shops?”

Recently, Rodney & Sara had the pleasure of joining the Faith Driven Entrepreneur podcast to talk about all the things. They discuss challenges they have faced over the years, how they see the Christian community responding to tattoos and their shop, what the bible has to say about tattoos and the people they get to meet and minister to along the way. The Carreras love to see how God is using them right where they are and how they are in a unique position to be a light in a dark world.

Come As You ART!

This last October, we had the honor and pleasure of participating in this years For the Love of Art event hosted by the Art Centre of Plano. As honoree for the 2022 Small Business Award, we are so excited to see a tattoo studio be recognized by Plano as an acceptable and respected form of art. At Anomaly we understand that art comes in many forms and love to share our passion for that with our community. We look forward to growing and engaging in the arts here in Plano and hosting some more of our own events this upcoming year. Thank you to the Art Centre of Plano for spotlighting an art form that perhaps has had a negative connotation attached to it in the past and shedding such a positive light on the art of tattooing and the industry.

Day 365..

I can’t believe we’ve made it!! We have stretched our brains, been creative, decreased anxiety and found a peaceful place with our daily art activities. Thank you to everyone who joined in, even if it was just for a day. The great thing about a blog is you can go back and any time and do any of the daily activities over again! We will be exploring some new ways to engage in art together over the next year, but for now, let’s celebrate all we have accomplished in the last year!

Artists sign their work so the world can recognize it. Finish this art journal by signing your name!

Using a colored pencil, fill in the spaces between the branches. These areas are the “negative space” (the background) and the branches are the “positive space” (the focal point of the image).

Day 362..

British collage artist Peter Blake is inspired by popular culture. His art often includes pictures of famous people and symbols.

Try it yourself. Find different symbols, faces, or objects in an old magazine, then cut them to size and glue them in the empty grid. Take a look at the Blake-inspired example to help you.

Divide your sheet of paper into four squares to create a grid or use link to print a grid.
