… the DECKED show’s been extended through the 9th to be on display during the fall/Halloween festival, Operation Pumpkin, taking place just outside on High St. that weekend!

In addition I’ve just released my celebratory holiday work in my threadless shop: laurabmakesart.threadless.com !

It’s called TREAT HOUSE and is an expression of some of what i love about Halloween.  Pictures to follow in the next post!

Also made a celebratory lil animation to ring in the season with (a minored version of ‘The Wassail Song/ Here We Come A-Caroling’) ‘Here We Come A-Scaroling’ hummed over top, and a Who-Dey gif to celebrate the first win of the season and promote the COOL CAT design!

OLLIE POPS

This is it!  This design for DECKED is my submission printed on a 8 1/4" popsicle deck and currently on display as of TODAY through the 1st of October at Hamilton, Ohio's The Strauss Gallery.  This work is a riff off skate terminology, specifically the popsicle board shape and ollie trick. Its title, OLLIE POPS, is the punch line to the joke on the popsicle's stick. Very straightforward. The concept and outcome just appeal to me.

Do You Like Skate Arts?

 Here it is!  The deets for DECKED- The Strauss Gallery's largest show to date!  It's an art exhibition centered around skate culture in which I have the pleasure to participate with SO MANY talented artists, showing my specially designed board inspired by skate lingo.

I'll share more on the board next post, but for now please feel free to check out The Strauss Gallery's Facebook Page for all up-to-date show information!

EDGY Skate Decks!

 Hey, folks!  Just gettin pumped up for the DECKED show at Strauss Gallery in Hamilton, OH coming up soon, which I'll be posting more on shortly, and thought it'd be a great time to share the custom skate deck designs from my EDGY collection at https://laurabmakesart.threadless.com/accessories/skateboard/complete-pro.  

Each design was tweaked to best suit the format of these popsicle-style boards.  The decks come either by themselves, with hanging gear, or with a selection of trucks/wheels.

To quote the shop: 

'Built with 7-ply Canadian maple, available in four widths.  Decks can vary from 31-32" in length.  Includes Independent Stage 11 139mm Polished Skateboard Trucks, Spitfire F4 101D 53mm Skateboard Wheels, Bones Reds Skateboard Bearings & Black Griptape.'

Ummmmm.. Shower Curtains

 That is all!

Made A Lil Time Lapse Collection Shirt Promo!
