Robson Carvalho can be found in the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo. His graphical approach is described by an extensive list of adjectives and adverbs, including scrappy, free, watercolor-enlivened, and pastel-like. His tattoos look like they were taken directly from one of his sketchbooks, and in most cases, that is exactly what happened. The tattoos on Carvalho capture that free-form pen technique. His expertise gives the impression that, rather of using a tattoo machine, he traced a doodle using a marker and a brush. The imperfection is what gives the work its immaculate quality: some of the lines become muted, some of the colors disappear, and some ink splatters as though the pen nib had slipped and fallen.
