The book includes interviews and quotes from the artists, photos of some of the event's highlights and gorgeous full-page color plates of the finished pieces.The list of participants, too numerous to mention, include Nick Baxter, Shawn Barber, Kim Saigh, Markus Lenhard, Nikko Hurtado, Jeff Ensminger, Nate Beavers, Jen Schichi, Chris Dingwell, Craig Driscoll, Jeff Gogue, Guy Aitchison and Michele Wortman, with guest artists Hannah Aitchison and Jo Harrison. Published in 2010 by Proton Press/Hyperspace Studios. Paperback, 11 x 8, 100 pages, full color.

DVD
Produced by veteran tattooist Guy Aitchison, Innerstate: The Movie is a 50 minute documentary film featuring interviews with the artists and an inside look at their visions, techniques, concerns and goals. It's a fast-paced film with a great soundtrack
