Turkey Vulture board?




Lately the Turkey vulture has been one of the animals I've been interested in.... Just interested in the feeling it brings across, not the prettiest bird thats for sure. A naked, wrinkled head is not the most welcoming face and is one of the reasons the vulture is not really liked. There is a certain mystique that I want to be able to capture in that empty glare the vulture has. Sketches and sculpture concepts resulted out of my sketchbook and has led me to thinking if the vulture deserves a graphic on one of the boards..

What do you think?

Feel free to leave your comments!

Time weary wolf - Skate Skimboard shoot


photos: Frazer Constable
Editing: Arno Marchand

The time weary wolf is one of my personal favorite skims,
It has lots of rocker front and back and has a multidirectional 'pill' shape outline.
The story behind the graphics is inspired from the wolf itself and what their character portrays to me. The wolfs persona combined with the concept of time is an intriguing concept. Even though wolves hunt in packs, each wolf has their own personality that grows and changes over time. pieces from 'the persistence of memory' painting by Dali are combined into the graphic to create a surreal environment for the wolf as it howls throughout the dark blue sky. Every wolfs howl is unique, and makes them recognizable from the pack. Looking at from the 'animalistic human' side of things; don't be afraid to howl out and show your personality.

Be unique, Be yourself . Ride Skimmarks.

The board looks good even in the Dirtier ends of town...
