My work is pretty much all monochromatic pen and ink – I think I might have used colour once upon a time, but I can\u2019t be sure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Even if you don\u2019t take into account how intertwined the two are creatively, I think skateboarding and art are two things that once you\u2019re involved with them, remain part of your personality until you\u2019re in the ground. Even if life gets in the way and you\u2019ve lapsed for one reason or the other, in the back of your head that part never stops reminding you that you need your feet on a board and a pencil in your hand.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As regards to creative approach with them both though? I\u2019d say that the freedom of expression and the formulation of ideas is consistent, but whereas skating to me is always better when you\u2019re around others, when I\u2019m producing work it\u2019s the polar opposite – it\u2019s all really self-contained, almost insular.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As far as inspiration goes, it changes day to day, but the aesthetics of brands such as Creature Skateboards, Zero, Witchcraft Hardware and the like always seem to drive me to keep developing my work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then you\u2019ve got guys like Sean Cliver, Hyperstoic and Marc McKee<\/a> who were massive influences to me when I first started down the road to illustration – Marc McKee<\/a>\u2019s \u2018accidental gun death\u2019 graphic for Blind Skateboards is one of my all-time favourites, and it\u2019s as old as I am.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got a lot of praise for The No Comply Network, it\u2019s rad to see a platform for the marriage between art and skateboarding that\u2019s such a melting pot of different ideas and creative methods. It\u2019s brought together a lot of people, and here\u2019s to it continuing to do so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
