Skateboard decks to the rescue

Posted on 08. Oct, 2009 by Tony Arranaga in Featured

A popular First Friday gallery recently put the call out to Phoenix artists and other public figures.  The owners of After Hours Gallery asked the local celebs to design a skateboard deck for an exhibit and auction to benefit families with autistic children here in Arizona.  You may recall, I volunteered my friend Kyle to help me create a work of art. (Ollie the trolley and a skateboard) Upon realization that my artistic skills were limited to the stick figures and smiley faces, the Best of Phoenix Jordre quickly took over the project and created our masterpiece.  Thank you, Kyle!!!!

I’m so excited to be a part of such a great cause!  You can see more shots of Kyle’s work here. Meanwhile, you can see what other artists did with their decks here and then hop on over here to see who will benefit from the event.
