~Lil Wayne
So what did Lil Wayne mean by that? I didn't see any more to this quote so I don't know. Maybe it's that you have to get good at falling down and getting back up? Watch where you're going? Feel free to make a guess.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful and/or very interesting works of art. (If people find a flat -- or mostly flat -- surface, they'll put paint on it!)
Particularly like the "Paint n Skate" -- even a place for your big toe if you're barefoot. ;-)
I think you're right about Lil Wayne's quotation. If you fall, get back up. Also, it could mean something about using your own strength to go forward?
Skateboard art... who knew? Very cool.
ReplyDeleteThis was fun. And some of the coolest skateboard art I've seen is by Drew Brophy, an artist who started as a surfer and did his art on surf boards. And then skate boards and anything else he could reach. Here's some bright and fun examples: http://drewbrophy.com/palisades-skateboard-rolls-out-drew-brophy-artist-series/
ReplyDeleteMy opinion: as good as he is, he succeeded so well because of his wife Maria Brophy, a marketing genius. :-)
Ha ha, what's that old saying... behind every successful man is... ;-)
Love the idea of using a skateboard as a canvas for creativity. Thanks for the introduction to this amazing art form, Tabatha. =)
