As most kids born in the 90s I was very influenced by skateboarding and was a "skater" myself. I always loved skateboard art and I remember going with my friends to skate shops to see the shapes from brands like Santa Cruz, Flip, Powell Peralta and others. I must admit that this art had a huge influence on my work and here's just a little tutorial in tribute to that.
The wallpaper of this week is a really beautiful photo of a bear with a bokeh effect from Javelines, a digital artist from Russia. I hope you like it. And if you want to feature your wallpaper just send it to us via email to abduzeedo@abduzeedo.com or via twitter at http://twitter.com/abduzeedo.

The book of this week is not a design book per se but it's an incredible book. I have just finished it and I got so much valuable information that can be applied in my day to day job as designer. The book is called Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping--Updated and Revised for the Internet, the Global Consumer, and Beyond by Paco Underhill.
