Here’s my boys down at the local Bowl. Kane is three years old in this photograph. This is how Kane experiences the thrill of a skate bowl while us parents can still keep our nerves in tact. His Daddy holds his hands and slowly builds momentum… swinging him back and forth like a pendulum (in the smaller entry part of the bowl). They pick up some pretty high speed as you can see by how close to the coping Kane is ( ;D Moose). Kane has the time of his life. Featured in the Art of Skateboarding.

This has been a really fun piece for me, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it a homage to my most infulential artist of all time. The work of Vernon Courtland Johnson ( or VCJ) was what initally inspired me to actually try to get better at art/drawing. I`d alway`s scribbled, but it was him that made me think that I wanted to do it as well as I humanly could. I`d skate for an hour to the local skate shop, and just stare at the boards, asking the shop assistant to take the boards down off the rack so I could drool over them. I was blown away by VCJ`s work, they made me giddy with excitement, and I`d get all amped up and go skate for the rest of the day. Never had I experience something like that before. Art that made me nervous, happy and full of energy all in one hit. So with that in mind, I thought I`d wrap all my love for these works up in this piece, a testament to where I`ve been, and where I still hope to go. / A homage to VCJ`s Welinder graphic taken into the future. You can all pay your respects to the masters work here Secondly, it`s my entry into the show us your skull challenge in the Viva la Skull group. / Which I think suits it perfectly, while it`s not techinally my skull, It is exactly what fills my head. Enjoy.

Welcome one, welcome all.
Skateboarding and Art go hand in hand, They`re inseperable. No other sport has as many direct links to Art. A quick scan across a skateshop`s wall will confirm this.
Skateboarding, like art, is self assessed, self initiated expression. Not reliant on a team, it`s a pure connection between you and your board alone.
From a casual roll in the sunshine, to 12 foot deep in a backyard pool, skateboarding breeds creativity, and you can`t help but want to smile. It`s a sport, a pastime, and a lifestyle all in one, and those who share the love are welcomed here.
