I\u2019m an illustrator at heart but I like to dabble with moving image, film, graphic design and photography. It\u2019s great to learn new skills.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I definitely think skateboarding helps me to learn new things creatively. Its given me experience in putting work in and pushing myself as hard as I can towards making an end product. There\u2019s not much better than learning a new trick and nailing it for the first time and I take that to my artwork.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Skateboarding\u2019s been with me for most my life, It\u2019s the reason I am who I am today.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Early on, I was always drawn to the American side of it, I was into artists like Ed Templeton, Neckface, Mark “The Gonz” Gonzales and the RVCA Artist Network Program and they have became influences.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I feel that skateboarding nowadays is a little more mature right now though, I\u2019m really into the stuff Isle Skateboards are putting out, I think their aesthetic is great!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also really nice to see less serious and more playful companies flourishing like, Welcome Skateboards and Polar who are smashing it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The No Comply Network is rad, so rad!I\u2019m super stoked to be a part of it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve also been a part of Generic Greeting Collective who collaborate with one another and put on events.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I think combining the two into a network is a really smart move, and using social media the way it should be used to connect people from all over is just great!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Right now, I\u2019m in the early stages of producing a cartoon, this won\u2019t be finished for another year or so though I don\u2019t think. I\u2019m also currently working on a project called \u201cHATE SELF\u201d which is a happy project about being sad.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s basically setting up a platform for artists who I think are really great and getting them to produce zines, prints, t-shirts along the theme of \u201c Life is OK, we are just doing it wrong\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
