What was this Chocolate Skateboard artist’s favourite board-graphic series? Read on and see.
SAMPLE:
Best know in the skate world as the man behind the bulk of Chocolate’s graphics Mr. Hecox has had his work exhibited in places near, far and in between this continent and the others. His scenes of buildings, objects, people and the ephemera of everyday life have delighted and inspired a multitude of bipedal creatures from Tokyo to Paris. Skaters and gallery goers alike find common themes in his images, colors and use of specific media to convey ideas. His work appear on just about every type of printable surface you could think of and a couple you might not, from wonderfully screened prints to lampshades. His style is instantly recognizable but he’s no one trick pony as even a cursory look at his website proves. As versatile as he is in working with different styles he is equally proficient with different mediums from block printing to illustration. Over the years he’s been copied by those who lack what he has. Respected by his contemporaries in both words and by act of purchasing his gallery work he has earned respect from those who matter most, his fans.
