A lot of things I draw for other people, but there's also some photos I see that I just need to draw for myself. When Sole Technology VP and old skate friend Don Brown posted this pic on Facebook two or three weeks ago, I knew I just had to draw it. The photos that work best with my style are ones with good action and lots of shadows. This original photo had both. The skater is Diego Najera, who I know nothing about, and the trick is either a straight nollie or nollie kickflip, I'm not sure. I added the e'S logos just to see how they would look, since that's his shoe sponsor, and since I've been hooked up with several free pairs of Etnies ( e'S shoes sister company) BITD. Why did I put six logos in? I think I had a flashback to the Vision Street Wear days where we were told to put logos EVERYWHERE. In any case, this is my favorite drawing of the past few months, I'm really stoked on how it came out. Sharpies on paper, 18" X 24", #shadowsandsharpies .
