    I am a graphic designer and illustrator and for sure skateboard graphics were the biggest influence on my development as an artist. Thomas‘s artwork is awesome and all the graphics he does are super cool! Very nice to see the process and how it works. My dream is to one day design a board for Santa Cruz as well :)

    Thomas explained his creative process with such honesty, depth and eloquence. You can clearly see how gifted he is in his craft. He is deliberate and thoughtful about the way he incorporates these ideas and styles into his art…it really shows his passion and his work ethic. There is so much wisdom in the idea that limits sometimes are actually helpful in the creative process. Props to his mom for nurturing Thomas’ creative talents 💛! What a joy to watch him do what he loves!
    What a great interview!

    Thomas is a motivated and fucking skilled artist. His work fits perfectly with the heritage of the brand. Thanks Santa Cruz for respecting your tradition of analog illustration. And I dig the subtle nod to Escher in the "Sketchbook" graphic.

    As a broken skateboard collector, i appreciate how parts of graphics stay preserved (especially when using rail-guards on the deck.)
    ie. The graphic wears out in the wheel wells, and at the nose and tail (from ollies, tail smacking tricks, dropping in, noseslides and tailslides, etc.) yet graphics in interior and under trucks always preserved (especially if using rail-guards). Thanks again to the artists who take the consideration of life into mind. As in life of a skateboard, and Life as it is.

      @@AA-bh3bz I save all my old skateboards and put them on my wall in my shed. I like when graphics contain a message or something, for personal insights or conversation piece.
      What do u do with ur broken decks?

    Thomas is in my opinion the best skateboard artist. I love his art style its got 80s early 90s soul with a new vibe. Winkowski is my favorite skater so to me they make the best team.

    Artwork creation needs inspiration. I'm glad that Thomas doesn't need to be high on cannabis every day (at least not in this interview, so it seems, due to articulation ability), and/or has ingested an entheogen in the recent past (guessing). The way he eats must be very sophisticated. Breathing ether and feeling his own lgiht and lifeforce from his own raw biome. I have such a high respect for artists who are a part of eternity.
    I like also how he puts the appropriate amount of legs on each ant on Kevin Braun's board.
    Also wild superman-air from the WinkiMan at 5:08
    This is the kind of isht that makes me want to skate hometown village cobble streets.

    Skateboard graphics suck compared to the late 80s and even late 90s.
