SKATE OR DIE

Remember when you were young and wild, leaning on chain link fences, trespassing on foreclosed homes with your teen gang, and looking for dried out pools to skate? Yeah, me neither. I squandered my youth wringing my hands and constantly panicking about the future, and on top of that, I never learned how to skate. What a fucking waste

ANYWAY, here is a watercolor illustration I did for Grace E. This is the very last private commission I’ll do for as long as I am employed, so put your eyeballs all over it (click to view larger):

Pool Skate

Brush pen & watercolor on Arches

I’ll have giclee prints of this illo, postcards, buttons, comics, my Poketo wallet … y’know, all the same old shit, at APE this weekend. I’ll be tabling with Calvin, Ryan, Derek, Anthony, and Evan at table 614, so steal your mom’s wallet, and git on down hurrr. BANG GANG FOREVER

  2. If I have any left after APE, I will put them up on etsy. And if I run out, I will probably have more prints made and then put them up on etsy (this may take several weeks).

  7. nice ska harmonies! I’m glad my work makes you think of a song that has lines like 추억의 연인 and 그때 그 시절; memory and romanticizing the past affect my drawings deeply.
