The Vans x Homegrown anniversary special

I had the honor of working on a pretty special project for my friends skate shop in Ithaca, NY a few months ago. The 10 year anniversary of his shop, Homegrown,  is coming up this fall and Vans approached him about doing a t-shirt to commemorate this occasion and he reached out to me to do the illustration for it. It was a lot of fun to illustrate the skatepark I spent a great deal of time at when I was younger and include little nods to its flooding issues and a friends favorite pair of shoes. If you want one of these bad boys ya gotta get to Ithaca, go to Homegrown, buy a pair of Vans and hope the limited supply hasn't run out yet. Big thanks to Andrew and Joe for this opportunity.

A whole mess of thinking on paper has been included for your viewing pleasure.

Little chest detail on the front

Party in the back.

"You can't do that here."

A recent piece, a lil' labor of love, if you will. There's always someone out there trying to spoil your fun. Don't wanna preach too hard here but this is my apocalyptic vision of 'no skateboarding' signs. People have asked if I really saw this.

Mmmm. Doesn't that bench look nice? Bet you gotta switch flip over it.

Sneak peek of a special anniversary t-shirt comin to you shortly-ish.
