I think skateboarding has helped teach me that it takes time and effort to learn something new.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">If you want to learn a new trick or a new art skill, it\u2019s going to take hard work for you to figure out the mechanics of it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Also, with skating and art, you always do it best when you\u2019re enjoying what you\u2019re doing so it\u2019s important to make art fun for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">There\u2019s a lot of different skater made art that gets me excited to make things. I really like the art of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nocomplynetwork.com\/eloise-dorr\">Eloise Dorr<\/a>, Tommy Bold, and Andrew Finch. They\u2019ve all got super different styles and it\u2019s always rad to see their new work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The Beautiful Losers film is something I watch whenever I need a little arty hype and I really love all the artists involved in that group too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Skate video wise, there\u2019s something incredible about all the films that Pontus Alv makes, he really seems to put part of himself in there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I think The No Comply Network is a great idea.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I love the artists involved and it\u2019s great to have an open forum for people to find skater artists and for artists to find each other.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">All my projects are up for grabs through Blue Monday Press.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben is a skater and artist based in Brighton &nbsp;
