We are proud to be sponsors of Inkfest Productions 2008 HOUSTON INKFEST, we plan on making this one of the most prestegious and coveted conventions in Texas. The other events are so old and run of the mill and nothing new for the artists like better accomidations and awards as well as sharing the network and expanding the industry knowledge.No rock stars and no bullshit. With special guests apperances by The World Famous ENIGMA. Also the lovely Mizuz Inkaholik will be there as well....

This year we will be having it at the very convenient
Sheraton North Houston at George Bush Intercontinental
15700 John F. Kennedy Boulevard · Houston, Texas 77032

Shuttles will be provided to and from the hotel from the airport and after parties

GUEST SIDESHOW MARVEL

THE ENIGMA

If you've never seen him perform before, you've probably at least heard about The Enigma. He's the guy with blue puzzle pieces tattooed all over his body who has made a name for himself performing stunts such as sword swallowing, pushing a moving power drill up his nose and swallowing various liquids, pumping them out of his stomach and swallowing them again. While he obviously helped reintroduce us to the amazing feats of the circus sideshow performer, what many people may not realize is that The Enigma is also an accomplished musician, both when he was a member of the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow and with his current band the Human Marvels, which also features his feline companion Katzen the Tiger Lady.

"If you've seen the circus of old, you noticed that I was on keyboards making music the entire time," he says. "If you weren't aware, it's because we were so busy blowing out your eyeballs that you didn't get a chance to let your ears catch up. Every time I've ever been onstage, I've always played music."
