Skip`s Buddha
T-shirt version of My Buddha.
I was initially reluctant to share this with anyone, because it was so personal for me, but after thinking about why, I thought different of it.
This design is a homage to a dearly departed friend of mine..his name was Mark Foote, but everyone knew him as Skip.
Skip was one of the finest skateboarders I`ve ever known, and his boundless energy and enthusiasm for life knew no equal.
He had a grin that would light the room, and he was always up for a “spiritual/way of the world” conversation..he tried to teach me to meditate on a few occasions, but I never really caught on.
I used to think that he was the embodiment of Buddha on earth, always smiling, laughter in his eyes, and skill on a board that must come from somewhere else.
Skip once told me to “share the love..that`s what it`s for” so that`s what I`m doing here..
Skip`s Buddha belongs to the following groups:

Damn, thanks Man, I really appreciate the fact this appeals to you.
Getting called buddha can`t be a bad thing can it?
Funnily enough, Skip used to wear a lot of green, so that`s the preview colour here.
I`m just glad it appeals to you mate.
