Fun little sketch I created while hanging out with VCJ in an attempt to practice working in just black and white with minimal shading. Really enjoying the pink and purple cosmic smoke that I added it at the end.
Monster Children X VCJ X Mike Giant
Last year, I had the opportunity of a lifetime and I wanted to share it with you all here on my blog. I was contacted by my tattoo artist and friend Mike Giant with a request to set up an interview with himself and the one and only VCJ for the Australian printed magazine Monster Children. Words through this blog post can't express how excited I was to be apart of this union and publication. I consider the couple hours I spent with this crew one of the biggest professional highlights of my entire 2014 year and I am incredibly pleased with how the piece turned out. In an effort to illuminate Court's legacy in the realm of art within the skateboard industry to those who may not know his direct influence on contemporary graphical pieces and share his personal favorite drawings, I kindly obliged at Mike's request to set up this interview.
If you have a subscription to Monster Children already, as this issue has already been released back in December of 2014, please make sure go back and check this interview out. It includes images from Court's personal collection of art that have never been printed before, as well as detailed accounts of his creative influence on Powell - Peralta and much more.
Court is one cool dude and I am so happy that Mike was able to interview him! Please enjoy my exclusive pics from that day.
Thanks.
