Board art to me is like the fruiting body of the skateboard cultural substrate that i have always tripped off .. massive love for all pro graphics and artists in this community
I back this 💯
You folks rule. Love NHS. My Winkowski’s rule.
not sure how old you are?
broke + time = ruined it
money + art = crap / who cares?
@fattihattener big akashic ethernet points for making reference to mushrooms
I am a graphic designer and illustrator and for sure skateboard graphics were the biggest influence on my development as an artist. Thomas‘s artwork is awesome and all the graphics he does are super cool! Very nice to see the process and how it works. My dream is to one day design a board for Santa Cruz as well :)
Thomas is very well spoken, awesome video!
Thomas explained his creative process with such honesty, depth and eloquence. You can clearly see how gifted he is in his craft. He is deliberate and thoughtful about the way he incorporates these ideas and styles into his art…it really shows his passion and his work ethic. There is so much wisdom in the idea that limits sometimes are actually helpful in the creative process. Props to his mom for nurturing Thomas’ creative talents 💛! What a joy to watch him do what he loves!
What a great interview!
Thomas is a motivated and fucking skilled artist. His work fits perfectly with the heritage of the brand. Thanks Santa Cruz for respecting your tradition of analog illustration. And I dig the subtle nod to Escher in the "Sketchbook" graphic.
I love this! Thank you Santa Cruz Skateboards for always giving skateboarding exactly what it needs. You have always been the real deal RAW Skateboard Company! Much Love and Eternal Respect!
As a broken skateboard collector, i appreciate how parts of graphics stay preserved (especially when using rail-guards on the deck.)
ie. The graphic wears out in the wheel wells, and at the nose and tail (from ollies, tail smacking tricks, dropping in, noseslides and tailslides, etc.) yet graphics in interior and under trucks always preserved (especially if using rail-guards). Thanks again to the artists who take the consideration of life into mind. As in life of a skateboard, and Life as it is.

what do you mean broken??
@@AA-bh3bz I save all my old skateboards and put them on my wall in my shed. I like when graphics contain a message or something, for personal insights or conversation piece.
What do u do with ur broken decks?
TF's Mummy Hand (the Jim homage) is legendary! Live Rad!!!
LOVE the board!! Bought 3 of them this year, I'm riding the Spaced Out right now! ((:
You folks rule! Keep rollin’!
Beautiful job on this video. Loved the Bear eating the pizza graphic.
Loved this.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawesome artist and great look inside the planing
Excellent style. That bear was great also.
Wish they’d put this guys sick graphics on their mtbs
Always wanted to create skateboard graphics so this is super cool to see! Slowly working towards it😤🤓
Thomas is in my opinion the best skateboard artist. I love his art style its got 80s early 90s soul with a new vibe. Winkowski is my favorite skater so to me they make the best team.
Awesome!
They need to bring back the aquatic graphic!!
Yeesh, this art is incredible.
Awesome
So rad
Man I got a lot of sick winkowski decks I’m blessed for sure. damn I need the aquatic day tho 😂 really enjoyed this
Yeah Thomas!!
Artwork creation needs inspiration. I'm glad that Thomas doesn't need to be high on cannabis every day (at least not in this interview, so it seems, due to articulation ability), and/or has ingested an entheogen in the recent past (guessing). The way he eats must be very sophisticated. Breathing ether and feeling his own lgiht and lifeforce from his own raw biome. I have such a high respect for artists who are a part of eternity.
I like also how he puts the appropriate amount of legs on each ant on Kevin Braun's board.
Also wild superman-air from the WinkiMan at 5:08
This is the kind of isht that makes me want to skate hometown village cobble streets.
Dimitri.
I would love to know how to get some of my artwork samples to someone at Santa Cruz Skateboards, to see if they might like boards designed in my style.
I only skate his boards
Nice
Can you reissue the purple everslick board
It reminds me of the grosso toy box
Who else picked their sketchbook back up after watching this? 📓😄
I could watch hours of this…
Fuck yeah! Thanks Satan Cruz, Thomas, Erick
my dream is this deck with a nose but is my best deck ride !
Yoo do some more product pillage videos showing off Santa Cruz and Creature products
I wonder if this guy is paid a base commission for the decks he designs, or if he gets royalties on top of a commission? Stellar job
KILLLLER!
Weird my name is Erick Mackowski.
Skateboard graphics suck compared to the late 80s and even late 90s.
