There are many facets of the skateboard world, but probably the most prominent would be art. It is everywhere. Skateboards have always had amazing graphics, showcasing work from some of the best artists in the game. Since we carry Altamont and recently picked up Heroin Skateboards, I wanted to highlight one particular artist who works with both companies (he actually started Heroin), Mark “Fos” Foster. Hailing from the U.K., Fos is a visual artist who has made quite a stir in the skateboard community with his low-fidelity works and unique boards graphics. If you like reading up on this English chap, check out this interview he did with Artist Advocacy back in 2010, or check out his latest art show on the Altamont blog. Otherwise, here’s some of my favorite works of his and a video of an art show in Vancouver.
