What’s up Trxstle Nation!

It’s Off the Grid John, AKA John Tamboles. I am a dad, husband, veteran, fisherman, artist and graphic designer residing in the Treasure Coast of Florida. Growing up on the waters of South Florida, I was chasing fish on fly from peacock bass, large mouths, tarpon and snook for long as I can remember! My art career started in about third grade when I would get paid in snacks and change to draw pictures and names on classmates folders which led to drawing tattoos and painting pieces for people in high school. At 19, I joined the US Army as an Infantryman and did one tour to Afghanistan. Whenever we had free time I drew tattoo designs that some of my brothers would ended up getting. For a few years after the Army, I was a Commercial HVAC Technician while still drawing, painting and dreaming about doing something artistic for a living. I made the tough decision to leave a great company and apprentice at a tattoo shop while also going back to school for graphic design. I followed my passion as a full time

creative and never looked back! Now, I work with amazing charities, companies and people bringing their ideas to life with one of a kind logos and graphics for their brands. This is all while making different products my canvas for @Offthegridjohn. My inspiration is heavily based on my life, shown through my travels to other states, countries, fishing different species, waters, environments, music, military culture mixed with a blend of skateboard illustration and American Traditional tattoos. This has and continues to be an incredible journey. It was a pleasure working with Trxstle to create this collection and I hope y’all enjoy it!

- With Love , OTG John
