 Nearly forgotton artist of a bygone era... |
| Review Date: July 23, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Karl P., swamplands, fla USA |
| Jim Phillips is one of my all time favorite artists! The very first time I saw one of his graphics was (for me) on the Santa Cruz skating gear in the late eighties...I would never buy or purchase any other gear, I also believed that the Santa Cruz gear had the VERY best graphics and any of the others were either badly executed or a very very poor imitation...so why not go with tthe BEST? The graphics simply blew my mind! I immediately felt a connection to the drawings (viscerally), for me they were as influential and as important as Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's images were to hot rodders in the 50s...it was amazing to have something that was of the same draftsmanship and gross-ness, violence and horror as those3 Big Daddy Roth graphics...To this day I own a Rob Roscopp deck from about '89...I barely used it, because I never wanted to mess up the gorgeous image that was printed onto the bottom of the board (also, truth be told I was never much of a 'skater' at all...I mostly hung out with them and listened to the same music)...today that Roskopp deck hangs in my studio as I create my very own graphics and images inspired in large part by this magnificentt artist: Jim Phillips! God bless you Jim, I never thought you got enough recognition or fame...kudos, and here's to ya! You influenced so many people in my field and of my generation...I'm so gald they finally put a book out on you! |
