Art on the Air

On this week's episode of Art on the Air we're excited to share our conversation with multi-talented artist Jimmy Butcher!

 

Jimmy is perhaps best known as a tattoo artist and owner of The Butcher Tattoo Studio on Bay Street. But his passion has always been in creating fine art projects with a variety of media, from painting and illustration, to murals and shoe design. Most recently Butcher has been working for none other than Kanye West!

 

Join us as we delve deep into Butcher's path through the arts, the origins of his visual style, and what he'd like to see more out of in the Savannah art community!
