Scratched Pictures

“Basically it was a competition organized by the street wear shop Waves & Woods in Lisbon, Portugal in order to promote their store. The goal was to get a blank skate board with the original color and try to do something with that base using any technic and material you like. My idea was very simple: to do something very caught-eye and to bring together diferents elements that are part of my life, and things that i like: vinyl toys/acrtion figures, maneki neko the lucky cat, spray cans, markers etc etc…

ohh …and yes, i won! 1st place! ”.
