Fakir Musafar,grandfather of the Modern Primitive Movement and his prodigal son, Blake of Nomad visit the Nomad Jewelry Exhibition at the Portland Art Museum, 2011. Fakir and Blake are the only two piercers and industry pioneers to contribute CULTURALLY (through their books, media and lectures) to their industry, and this exhibit is the ONE OF  it's kind in the history of the industry. Blake and Fakir are the only two guys of their genre to take it to the "next level" and educate non-industry people. This exhibition has had over A HALF MILLION VISITORS in the last 3 years! It was a huge honor conducting a Tour for Fakir and his wife at this special exhibit. Watch for video coming soon! This is a MUST SEE for  piercers who actually care about the cultural origins of the industry they work in.
