Myles Karr is a tattooer, fine artist, and illustrator who quickly left the Long Island suburbs to establish himself in the city of New York. Beginning his studies at the School of Visual Arts, Myles graduated from SUNY Purchase with a Bachelors degree in fine arts. While lending his distinct style to countless album covers and the occasional magazine, Myles discovered the world of tattoos. With the help of many trusting friends, Myles taught himself the delicate craft of permanent skin decoration and applied his unique sensibilities to the tattoo world. He also contributes to art shows such as the Amphetamine Reptile 25th Anniversary show, the MOVE ballpoint pen show and the Upstarts tattoo exhibition. In between tattoos and drawing, Myles still finds the time to spend with his beautiful wife and incredible dog, without whom he would never be able to accomplish any of this.
In September 2022 SmokeLong launched a workshop environment/community christened SmokeLong Fitness. This community workshop is happening right now on our dedicated workshop site. If you choose to join us, you will work in a small group of around 15-20 participants to give and receive feedback on flash narratives—one new writing task each week.
