Skeleton Heart - http://www.skeletonheart.com/

We are Anthony Parker and Lisa Crawley. Both of us have spent many many years locked away in dusty workshops creating monsters, werewolves, zombies and generally things that go bump in the night for films and TV. We decided it was time to find another outlet for our creativity and decided to produce a range of unique handcrafted art and accessories for those with distinctly alternative taste! Everything is handmade by ourselves. We can usually be found toiling away by candlelight, into the wee small hours, sculpting skulls, crafting strange dolls, religious art, vintage jewelry, surrounded by poison bottles.

What the Press Said

What the press had to say about the 2009 show:

''D4L's show endeared us in a big way following its 2008 debut on the circuit and has evolved into an outstanding tattoo soiree that is deservedly lauded by collectors and artists alike. It manages to attain a mixture of warm ambience and great artistic variety in a capacious setting, and as many convention devotees will be aware, that is no mean feat when a show expands in what are still its formative years.' - Neil Dalleywater - Skindeep 175 www.skindeep.co.uk

''Liverpool itself is a great place to spend a summer weekend and the fact that Tony and his Design 4 Life crewwant to give you something a bit different allows this show to pop its head up above the crowd and say, with a cheeky wink, 'Come on...you know you want to!' - James Sandercock - Total Tattoo Sept 09 www.totaltattoo.co.uk
