Streetwear Books Con2canvas2

Bringing together the finest

artwork produced by skateboarders around the world, this second volume

of skater-art follows on the successful first book Concrete to Canvas.  Since

the first time a graphic was hand-drawn onto a board, there has been a

deep-rooted connection between skateboarding and art.  The culture of

skating is a very creative and visual one, with by-products such as

board graphics, videos, stickers, magazines, and clothing.  As more

skater-artists emerge, skateboard magazines feature more artwork on

their pages, and there is an increasing number of exhibitions focusing

on skater-art.  Each artist’s work is highly individual and

distinctive, and there is a huge variety in genre, style, method,

medium, subject matter, inspiration, and influence. The work featured

includes digital art, street art, fine art, paintings, drawings,

doodles, illustration, and installation.
