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 an amazing image created by Adam Spizak and the Artis Navi team. The ArtisNavi is a blog created by Gregory Machon and Adam Navi to be a creative outlet for presenting and sharing some cool and interesting ideas that they found inspiring, promising and sexy enough to share with us.
For more information about ArtisNavi visit their blog at http://www.artisnavi.com/. There's also a case study showing how this wallpaper was created.
The book suggestion of this week is all about illustration and it's one of the books we check out when looking for inspiration. The book is called The Sourcebook of Contemporary Illustration. We highly recommend that you check it out.
