“Two of three for a series of skateboard decks for Santa Cruz Skateboards. The boards were manufactured with an advanced process, giving the boards an ‘everslick’ bottom surface and a matte finish. As a lifelong skater, I’ve always tried to work on some board graphics projects each year. Skateboard graphics have been such an important influence on my work that it’s just the best to see my own designs on a board. For this set, I wanted to create monster hands for their respective liquid environments—Blood, Oil and Water—with a nod to the famous Santa Cruz screaming hand, originally illustrated by Jim Phillips in 1985.”
