  • V is for Vice
    1st custom-painted skateboard in a three part series
  • This is the 1st skateboard deck I've done for a three-part series wherein I explore a new style of painting. I've done skateboard decks before, and in fact it is my favorite surface to work on. However, this series looks quite different from my previous work, and it shows in the details; real objects that I have tried to depict this time around, as opposed to using graphical elements as filler. It was fun doing this series, I am almost sad to see the third and last deck finished. It has been personally fulfilling to finally achieve the depth and realism that I felt was lacking my previous works, and I am keen to further develop this style on future paintings. cheers!
