A Few Words About the Artwork:
"I created this illustration of Greyson Fletcher from a fantastic photo taken at the Venice skatepark (which just celebrated its 15th anniversary) by Dan Levy of Juice Magazine. Of course, this image highlights the impressive style and height of Greyson’s frontside ollie, but more importantly, it captures the beauty of form and function in perfect harmony, represented by the symbiotic relationship between the Venice Park transitions and Greyson’s graceful adaptation to them.
Greyson is a master of all terrains on a skateboard, and his fluid style is a reminder that skateboarding isn’t about an old-school vs. new-school trick battle (Greyson dominates both), but more importantly, that every trick comes from the unmatched flair and style of this skater. These prints will be signed by me, Greyson, and Dan." Shepard Fairey
