Anyone who knows Colfax knows that the tattoo shops are one of the cornerstones of the community and some of the longest-standing fixtures of the street. In 2019, artists from Colfax Ave’s district shops (Bound by Design, End of Days Tattoo, Lifetime Tattoo) donated their designs to be displayed on street banners. Now, it’s our turn to give back to them.

Proceeds from every print purchased will go directly towards the artist’s memorial services

Title: Kwan Yin

Artist: Ed Teply

Description: I’ve frequented Colfax since 2001 and moved here in 2013. I’ve always had a love affair with a wild soul that cannot be controlled. I love you Colfax warts and all.” Ed’s paintings come from ideas that are out of his reach, yet his inner self-respect forces him to reach that limit and furiously paint it until he is able to master the concept. As long as there are trees reaching to the sun and breath in his lungs, Ed Teply will forever battle the woes in this universe with his paintbrush and paper. And win.
