Crow is my first completed painting of 2017 and I have to say that I am pretty chuffed with how he has turned out. Skate decks provide a gusty format that force you to think outside of the square (or rectangle as is mostly the case), to utilize the space effectively. This work is a collaborative work with the lovely folk at The Paper Rain Project.

The Paper Rain Project is a wonderful venture based in Picton, New Zealand. Their ethos is founded upon beautifully made quality products that are either ethically produced, whether that is employing disadvantaged women in India and or environmentally friendly, for example; up-cycling old skateboards or wine barrels into aesthetically pleasing art works or functional long boards.
