Skate Designs

I am not a skater, but I like the grunge design scene. So I find myself drawn to the world of the skater. Street art also fascinates me. I think skate culture and street art go hand in hand. Here in LA there is always a mural or some art to see while walking around. It's one of the things that I like about living here.

When I worked in graphic design for the recreation center in St. George, Utah. I was asked to come up with some shirt designs for a skate competition. So I started to research styles and designs and that was my first experience with the grunge skater style.

Ever since then, I have really liked making those designs. The spatter, and dirty edges are just so much fun to play around with. If I can come up with more splatter/grunge designs unrelated to skating, I would. That is how I came up with the RUN.HIDE.SURVIVE. designs I guess.

For the most recent skate designs, I was more free to do what I wanted and the following four graphics are the pieces I created for the shirts.

As usual, these are all available online at my store, www.zazzle.com/dafunkd. If you have any questions about these designs, please fell free to contact me. I would be glad to discuss what I use to create these designs.
