It's Just A Ride
“What comes first? Does skateboarding influence illustration or does illustration and creative arts influence skateboarding?”
A Public Nuisance and Gather.ly launched It’s A Ride to explore the overlap between the two worlds and produce a ton of awesome skate-inspired art.
Filmmakers Craig Smith and Ed Hubert shot this great video to tell the story of the project and explore the relationship between skate and creativity.
Check out Huck’s Things That Inspire Me pieces with each of the artists involved in the project, Pedro Oyarbide, Harry Tennant and MysteryMeat.
