I like to skateboard, make music and draw. I create weird art. It’s a mix of a bunch of things, weird four-eyed creatures, Japanese inspired designs. I like to draw weird characters and incorporate them into my skateboard design. Hopefully I’ll have my own brand in the future and be an established painter.
I got inspired for this board by a few of my drawings of many-eyed creatures and then saw a thing on TV about Egypt. I thought it would be cool to do a Egyptian-style toon. The board is maple and I wood burned the image on. I didn’t really see anyone doing wood burning at OSF this year, so I thought it would be really nice to try it on my board. I focused on the use of line, using different shapes and repetitions of shapes and the movement of the lines themselves. I was trying to show it is cool to use different things, and change everyday images into something new.
I learned wood burning and it is a really unique skill! I feel really accomplished with this board because I learned a new skill and challenged myself to use an image that isn’t normally seen in skateboard art...and it turned out really well!!!
