OLLIE POPS

This is it!  This design for DECKED is my submission printed on a 8 1/4" popsicle deck and currently on display as of TODAY through the 1st of October at Hamilton, Ohio's The Strauss Gallery.  This work is a riff off skate terminology, specifically the popsicle board shape and ollie trick. Its title, OLLIE POPS, is the punch line to the joke on the popsicle's stick. Very straightforward. The concept and outcome just appeal to me.

Do You Like Skate Arts?

 Here it is!  The deets for DECKED- The Strauss Gallery's largest show to date!  It's an art exhibition centered around skate culture in which I have the pleasure to participate with SO MANY talented artists, showing my specially designed board inspired by skate lingo.

I'll share more on the board next post, but for now please feel free to check out The Strauss Gallery's Facebook Page for all up-to-date show information!

EDGY Skate Decks!

 Hey, folks!  Just gettin pumped up for the DECKED show at Strauss Gallery in Hamilton, OH coming up soon, which I'll be posting more on shortly, and thought it'd be a great time to share the custom skate deck designs from my EDGY collection at https://laurabmakesart.threadless.com/accessories/skateboard/complete-pro.  

Each design was tweaked to best suit the format of these popsicle-style boards.  The decks come either by themselves, with hanging gear, or with a selection of trucks/wheels.
