My Skateboard Rainbow

Ideas: Showing my history with skateboarding by representing my past skateboard decks. And adding a poppy flower which is important to me regarding the opioid crisis, mentioned in the art.

Materials: Photoshop, picture of my skateboards

Size: 8/8 in

Artist Statement: The Main Idea of this art was to use my past skateboards to depict something, and since my skateboards have always been colorful I decided to add a sky background theme to make it look like a rainbow. And I also added the poppy flowers to convey a message that it important to me and my family.

I used adobe photoshop to create my artwork, and used a reference photo of my past skateboard decks that I have kept over the years, I chose photoshop because it makes artwork I make come out better and cleaner.

The process that I went through was wanting to create something involving past skateboards that I have used over the years of my skateboard "career", and make something out of them, I was originally struggling with deciding on the idea that I would use for this project. But I decided on using a rainbow because I thought that It would come out well. But I decided to add something else for my project, something meaningful to me so I chose to draw a poppy flower because what they stand for means a lot to me.
