Skater and artist Peter Phobia

This is a short story about Peter: "Stickers are an essential part of skateboard culture and have inspired me my whole life. My aim with this series is to give back to the culture that shaped me. Stickers are a fun way to show some love and inspire the people around you!"

"As a skateboarder I've been a collector of stickers my whole life. I was the kid at the skate shop asking for stickers to decorate my board with. Looking back, skateboard graphics and stickers introduced me to the world of art and illustration. Without these experiences I wouldn’t be where I am today."

Project: Skaters

 

The project ‘Skaters’ is about much more than a person on a piece of wood. Skateboarding is about freedom, energy and community - these are all qualities you can find in this series.

 By creating various skaters but removing the skateboards, I’m trying to visualize the essence of skateboarding. The energy I put into my artwork is deeply personal, yet I hope the language it speaks is universal.
