Robin Logan and an Owl

This drawing was ordered by my friend Paula, who I met back in the BMX days.  It was a gift for her friend Robin Logan, one of the female pioneers of skateboarding.  Robin's family made their mark in skating in the 70's and by putting out the Logan Earth Ski boards.  The owl has a personal meaning to Robin, which I won't go into here.  I went for some 70's earth tones, and gave the owl a little bit of decoration.  This was another drawing I was worried about everyone liking, but Robin was stoked on it.  Like Sonja in the last post, Robin has become a Facebook friend.

A Robin and an Owl

This drawing request came from Paula, a friend I met in the late '80's or early '90's.  She wanted this as a gift for a friend, and that friend turned out to be 70's skateboard legend, Robin Logan.  Robin was from the Logan family that started Logan Earth Ski skateboards, and in the original photo, she's doing a kickflip variation.  I'm not sure what they called that trick then, because the word "kickflip" comes from Rodney Mullen in the late 70's, I think.  The owl has a personal meaning for her, which I won't go into.  Since Robin had her arms spread, I thought it made sense for the owl to have its wings spread as well.  I was given free reign on this one, and I ended up giving the owl some jewelry or decoration.  That's just where the feeling led me.  I'm always worried when I send these drawings out, because I never know how they'll be received.  But both Paula and Robin said they liked it, so I'm stoked.
