A proper Charlie

Aussie Charlie Isoe paints some pretty gruesome characters.

And they’re all the more glorious for it.

Take a look: http://bit.ly/8N4HRq.

And if your home’s missing the grotesque-factor, why not darken the place up with one of his prints:

Pussies Galore

‘Madchen Mit Katzenkopf’ is available here: http://bit.ly/65QVSq.

Until next time.

Got a really interesting Wes Humpston video interview from Walrus TV today, a chance to learn a bit more about the history of skateboarding and skateboard art design back in the day.

Best known for his work on the original Dogtown boards, Wes Humpston has been involved in skateboard graphics since the 1970’s. Still heavily inspired by Zap Comics, art nouveau, and album covers, his designs retain their original Cali-born aesthetic.

In addition to appearing on vintage Dogtown Skates decks, his artwork is now featured on the old school decks from his new company Bulldog Skates. Watch the interview from “The Run Up,” available for the first time to the public for free, on Walrus TV.
