Pink Moon – Painted Skate Deck Series

This is the first series I ever did. Covid was just starting and I'd been fired from my union job at the airport. Each deck was hand-painted and I didn't know what would become of them. This stretch of my life, I was 24, delivering Uber Eats in Colorado and living on my brother’s couch. I’d hand-deliver decks myself between deliveries, sometimes as far as Fort Collins. Nick Drake’s music was my biggest inspiration at that time, and this series became my way of carrying his spirit into my art. Below is the original description for this series.

the pink moon series was made to showcase Nick Drake's historic album. All proceeds from this series will go to place2be, a charity focusing on improving mental health in school children across the UK.

British songwriter Nick Drake passed away in 1974 at the age of 26. 25 years later, his three-album catalog was a mystery to many, save for small groups of record-store junkies who not only knew about the artist, but reveled in his “hidden gem” secrecy.
