Skateboards for Hope - Live Skateboard decks painting with Process shots.
Had a pleasure to work with SFH once again, doing live painting on used skateboard decks that were given to the organisation and will be shipped and given to children from less fortunate countries.
I was painting live at the Jackalope festival which is an extreme sport festival that comes once a year here in Montreal.
I did 5 decks with my special LOVE touch series.
Check it out.
Here is some info about the organisation: you should check them out on their site. https://www.skateboardsforhope.com/
We are Skateboards for Hope, a people-powered organization. Our aim is to give children the tools to break the cycle of poverty. We recycle, reuse and revolutionize skateboards to youth fostering community, collaboration and trust, across the globe.
Our mission is to shred the taboos that surround the skateboarding culture and the social stigma it carries. Together, as a family, Skateboards For Hope wants to provide youth with an oasis of trust and freedom, to inspire them to become strong leaders in their community.
Here are the shots yo! with process as promised, i used spray paints and acrylic paint markers.
Keep the spirit high.

@artbyadida amazing work! It's awesome you are painting the skateboards for a good cause, to break the cycle of poverty for the less fortunate and allowing children a chance to live with playful toys. Didn't know there is such fairs happening in Montreal...I live in BC, Canada and visited Montreal before; it's a wonderful city! Upvoted to support. If you have time please come visit my page and always welcome feedback on my artworks and photography :)
