“Leviathan – Ark of the Apocalypse,” is the name of this astonishing pirate ship. One of the most impressive sculpture Jason Stieva, tattoo and assemblage artist based in Whitby, has ever made.

I’ve always been intrigued by art and gothic architecture as far back as I can remember. Then I was introduced to the country of Europe in 1997 I’d never flown before, but I went ahead and bought a one-way ticket and a train pass, and headed out on a solo mission. I was instantly hooked on the atmosphere, the people, the architecture, the art galleries, the churches, the graveyards, and the catacombs.

Full-time tattoo artist, Jason Stieva is the owner of Shallow Grave Studios
