Skate Deck Submissions

These illustrations were submitted to a contest hosted by No-Comply Skate Shop in Austin, TX. My niece had just started taking graphic design classes at school, and her inspiration led us to these final pieces. It was really cool to watch her pencil sketch several stories of people and food ingredients. I helped her refine her ideas, and then brought her ideas to life in Photoshop. It was time well spent, and we were proud of our results.
