LIQUITEX Skate Art for OZ Comic-Con
In April 2015, Jasco commissioned me to create three unique skate decks for display at Oz Comic-Con in Melbourne, showcasing the versatility of Liquitex paint products.
I focused on graffiti-inspired techniques, including basic fades, a liquid soap effect, and chains as stencils, to bring my designs to life.
Each skate deck is a storytelling piece - a "Story Boards".
Little Red Riding Hood-Inspired Deck: This design took a playful, dark twist on the classic fairy tale character, with Fieldey’s signature blend of colors and sharp contrasts.
Crazy Blue/Green Bulldog Deck: A wild, energetic design featuring a bulldog in vibrant blues and greens, this deck was a bold representation of Fieldey’s high-energy artistic style.
Skulls and Chains Tattoo-Inspired Deck: With intricate detailing and a moody, monochrome color scheme, this deck captured the essence of tattoo art, showcasing a mastery of both spray paint and acrylic techniques.
A “making of” video, which documents my process from start to finish, was played throughout the event, offering viewers an intimate glimpse of the artistic journey behind the skate decks. The video was later shared across Liquitex Australia’s social media channels, amplifying the success of the collaboration and showcasing my approach to using Liquitex products.
The collaboration brought a burst of color and creativity to an already vibrant Oz Comic-Con, and also highlighted the endless possibilities of Liquitex paints in the hands of a skilled artist. I am always delighted to have oppertunities to work at the intersection of street art and fine craftsmanship.
