Tattooed amp - A collaboration with Death house studios

A huge part of Blackstar's marketing plan is to reach out to high profile artists and offer them the best support when they're out on tour. After all, whats better than having a brand presence on stages at festivals and TV productions in front of thousands of people.

To build relationships and develop a reputation as a great amp brand that supports its artists, Blackstar always looks for new
and innovative ways to stand out to high profile rock stars.

This special edition amp, created for Billy F Gibbons (Zztop) was covered in Jeffery West leather; it was then left in the capable
hands of Aasen Stephensen at Death house studios.

Aasen, a talented artist took the covered amp and etched a beautifully intricate design into the leather using a tattoo gun. 
Turning this amp into a unique, original piece of art that Billy could be proud to have by his side when he's shredding it up!

My involvement was the creative concept and project management and logistics of this collaboration.
