Exhibit Work
Growing up, I’ve always been intrigued by skater culture, and its fluidity and ability to merge with pop culture and both modern and vintage things. Skaters were always stereotyped a certain way and I wanted to change that stereotype to a group of individuals who are open to all styles and interests’. I myself am prety fluid with what I’m interested in and my likes and dislikes are always changing, and that’s what I notice skaters are like. I wanted to introduce retro wave and cyberpunk to the list of things that can mesh well with skate culture, therefore creating a skate brand that’s styled cyber punk and spacy as well. The colors I chose are quite opposite of heavy metal brands or trippy brands, I wanted to give a more organized look while adding my touch of mess to the mix. Since I was given all the creative freedom, I added a mix of illustration and graphic design to my work. Skateboards can have anything on their board to represent who the skater is. I also wanted to have a shop that can use all recycled supplies such as recycled wheels and recycled and recreated boards. Id like to intrigue people of all tastes and interests to my skate shop.
