Liam Hodgins
I’m a passionate artist and skilled motor cycle mechanic with a love for all forms of creative expression. Whether it’s largescale spray painting, Clay sculptures, Motorcycle building, skate boarding, tattoo culture or automotive painting. I am based out of maple ridge and have over 10 years experience painting with multiple mediums. My art style has derived from my love for tattoos and urban art, with bold and articulate designs mixed with Canadian street style. Growing up skateboarding the parks across Canada seeing some of the most raw art was always very inspiring.

Jake Graham
My name is Jake Graham, I’m a 25-year-old artist and tattooer based in Abbotsford, BC. I’ve spent years exploring a wide range of artistic mediums- from spray paint murals to detailed oil and acrylic paintings, as well as graphite and painted portraits. My creative path eventually led me into the world of tattooing, where I’ve been working professionally for the past two years. I specialize in everything from bold traditional styles to realism, bringing a high level of detail and craftsmanship to every piece I create. My background in fine art has shaped the way I approach tattooing, blending technical skill with creativity to give clients something truly personal and lasting. Whether it’s on canvas, skin or a wall, I take pride in my versatility and dedication to the craft.

This exposure to the innerworkings of the art world further sharpened his understanding of presentation, audience engagement, and the dialogue between artwork and space.

Following the Beirut port explosion in 2020, he organized community-based art sessions that offered a space for reflection and collective recovery. His mural work spans Lebanon, Qatar, and Jordan.
