Andrew Blooms is a fine artist, tattooer, designer and musician from Atlanta, GA. Blooms’ artworks draw inspiration from traditional Asian painting, printmaking, and tattoo and hopes to reinterpret these traditional values through the lens of contemporary art. In 2023, Andrew opened his first retail and studio concept, “Blooms Emporium” in downtown Atlanta, where one can find a collection of his original artworks, prints and apparel. On the weekends, he teaches art classes, where people from all backgrounds can come and learn the basics of creating their own traditional Asian art pieces. Through these efforts, Blooms’ goal is to inspire his community to think outside the box, and to place a higher value on art and the process of creativity as a way of life. In many ways, Andrew processes his own challenges and experiences he goes through in life through his artworks, aiming to find the beauty and light of life through painting, tattooing and creating experiences for the world the enjoy. You can find Andrew painting in his private studio in Castleberry Hill or at his store Blooms Emporium downtown, where he also paints and teaches his art class. Blooms’ slogan, “always remember me, ok?” Is a reminder to always remember the purpose of life itself and to keep in mind the deeper meaning and legacy that lies behind our time here on Earth.
