Self Portrait 2009. Art by Daemon Rowanchilde
Daemon studied Experimental Art, sculpture and jewelry design to loosen up his creativity and stimulate his imagination, and Fine Art to learn discipline and how to portray the human form in various media. It was during his time at OCA that Daemon developed the idea of tattooing as body design. He was fascinated by the dynamics of the human body in motion and how these dynamics could be enhanced by a skillfully placed and well-executed design.
Today, Daemon's art and body design explore universal energy patterns perceived by shamans and reflected in the art and healing rituals of diverse cultures across time and space. He has done tattoos for Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton, and designed the tribal tattoos for Alan Cummings' character in X Men.
His wife Raven Rowanchilde is his partner in business and life. She is a yoga instructor and energy worker, and they offer classes and workshops at their beautiful historic retreat in Fergus, Ontario. For more information, please visit their website at UrbanPrimitive.com.
