Skateboard
Illustration
Illustrated a series of decks for Creature Skateboards.
Initially designed for a workshop in collaboration with Creature skateboards, during an invitational Adobe sponsored event. During said workshop with those in attendance, Creature announced they would be choosing an illustration to be utilized in the upcoming Creature skateboards line for the following year: of which, my design was the chosen board to be sold to the public. Their team said my design fit the mold of Creatures aesthetic, especially liking the design showcasing the natural beauty of the wood, with intentionally designed white-space.

Follow-up.
After the skateboard deck was created, Creature reached out and asked me to illustrate another skateboard, and a sticker to be included in the package. Creature also asked for me to make a custom vector, to be utilized in a novel technique to be laser engraved on the back of the deck.
After Adobe saw the successful partnership they had created, Russel Brown (Adobe - Senior Creative Director) personally invited me back to the following years Adobe MAX event to be a teachers assistant in his pre-conference workshop, in Los Angeles.
