Artist Yu Nagaba has some clean and simple doodles of Jay Adams in his classic form. I'm diggin' his basic drawing style a lot and you can find more on his instagram page HERE.
I'm truly proud of Mark Oblow and all that he's done to push every aspects of his art, photography and most importantly, all of us skateboarders and surfers.
His solo opening show on his home island of Oahu, Hawaii opens at FITTED's Hale Nuihi warehouse/gallery space (next door to BJ Penn's UFC Gym) from 6-10PM on Friday, June 24, 2016.
"Hawaii, Stuck To Me" consists of Oblow's 2016 resin works in mixed media, most notably, a continuation of his 40+ year old deadstock skateboards. He's incorporated his photography, hand-cut block prints/stencils, doodles, laser-cutter, and paint, all under resin, which harkens back to his youth as a sponsored surfer. All stunning, beautiful and desirable.
This show will consist of 95 original resin pieces featured on two of the main walls at the space along with a huge block print installation. Instead of a numbered print edition for the opening, Oblow created individually hand-made original and unique block prints on Japanese book pages.
We'll also debut a special event shirt made by RVCA for Oblow, two moblow enamel pins made by RollingDeathMaui, custom push pins for the original block print installation made by The Speed Merchant, and What Youth magazines featuring Mark Oblow covers.
In addition, FITTED will be releasing their Mark Oblow capsule line at their retail store across from Ala Moana and on their online shop on Friday, June 24th. The collection consists of two hats, a tee and a tank with original artwork by Oblow under his moblow life-style brand moniker.
