Acrylic & Paint Marker on Skateboard • Deck Heads 3

Yes, this head is headed to Exit Skateshop’s Deck Heads 3. Yes, the neck adornment was partially inspired by the plastic snake packaged with Kenner’s Yoda action figure. Yes, this conversation is pretty one-sided.

Friday, May 7th, 6:00 – 11:00 PM

Guess which one I painted.
