 I LOVE SKATE ART THE BOLDNESS OF THE COLOURS AND DESIGNS ARE AMAZING.
BELOW IS THE SCREAMING HAND PROBELEY THE COOLEST IMAGE IV'E SEEN.
 I IMAGINE ITS BEEN THE CONSTANT INSPIRATION FOR TATTOOS AND IF YOU COULD FIND ANY SCHOOL EXERCISE BOOK FROM THE 80,S IT WILL HAVE HUNDREDS OF DRAWINGS OF THIS IN THE MARGIN'S.
