  2. Skateboard graphics • Skateboard graphics have been a part of skateboarding since its inception, but in the 1990s, a no-holds-barred explosion of ideas from brands like Real, Blind, and World Industriesdefined the culture with unapologetic and controversial designs. • There is a solid group of artists in the prime of their careers right now, putting out amazing.

  3. #1: Todd Bratrud • Website: thehigh5.comWorks with: The High 5, Volcom, Nike, The Skateboard Mag, (formerly Consolidated)While most skateboarders have varied opinions on artists within the culture, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone that doesn’t like the work of Todd Bratrud. His talent is obvious and the appeal of his humor spans the gamut of tastes. • Designs / style: • Jokes and witty juxtapositions that require some thought to appreciate, • He started his own brand called The High 5 (which puts out the best graphics of our time).

  4. #2: Michael Sieben • Website: msieben.comWorks with: Roger, Volcom, Thrasher (formerly Bueno) • Design / Style: • The Austin, Texas-based artist Michael Sieben has a unique illustrative style that is immediately recognizable. • Just as important as the art quality is his humor, which can sometimes be dry, but is always on point. From his articles in Thrasher to his web series through Volcom to his board graphics for the company he co-owns, Roger, Sieben has secured a steady place for himself in the timeline of skateboard art.

  5. #3: Donny Miller • Website: donnymiller.comWorks with:Skate Mental, RVCA, (formerly Aesthetics, éS, Emerica) • Design / style: • If there is anyone pushing the boundaries of socially acceptable graphics, it is Donny Miller. • He is currently creating graphics for one of the most uncensored companies out • Donny's Alien vs. Predator board is one of the best skateboard graphics ever created.

  6. #4: Todd Francis • Website: toddfrancis.comWorks with: Element (formerly New Deal, Anti Hero, Real, Stereo) • Design / style: • Todd Francis has been making board graphics since 1993, including some of the best Anti Hero graphics in the late ’90s, but he has not lost any steam and has powered straight through the 2000s. • As an Element Advocate, Francis has been integral in turning around that brand's art department. Element is now known for his clean and stylized nature motifs. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyP4bUMppUQ

  7. #5: Jimbo Phillips • Website: jimbophillips.comWorks with: Santa Cruz, Pocket Pistol • Design / style: • The Santa Cruz brand was single-handedly built by Jim Phillips in the ’80s, so it was appropriate that he passed the torch to his son Jimbo. • Jim trained his son in his iconic styling, and Jimbo has churned out one visually exciting graphic after another. He consistently keeps the Santa Cruz brand ahead of the curve with the colorful imagery it has always been known for.

  8. #6: French • Website: witchcrafthardware.comWorks with: Witchcraft, Creature • Gore, putrid corpses, and all things vile are the running themes in U.K. artist French’s artwork. • He started Witchcraft Skateboards, and continues his legacy of evil and satanic illustration. Death metal to the max
