Art Directors Club of Tulsa Presents
SkyPage
Bay Area-born, Los Angeles-based SkyPage spent his formative years painting hobby trains and model cars using Testors-brand enamel paints and plastic-bristled brushes. This was the starting point from which his interest in and fascination with paint-based materials emerged, but coupled with the discovery of non-soluble ink mediums and other indelible marking tools, his appetite grew.
Graffiti quickly became the language; windows, lockers, rooftops and other exterior surfaces worked as media to create dialog; public transit acted as a catalyst and time served as structure. However, long gone are the days of stationary stores and hobby shops—perhaps one day penmanship, too, shall be obsolete. But so long as there is development, there will be new surfaces, new walls, new heights, and with that comes the creation of new marks.
SkyPage’s work has graced the pages of Mass Appeal, Big Time, Arkitip, and Transworld. He has developed logos and artwork for Stussy, Nike, PROS N’ CONS, Brooklyn Basements, and a roster of others.
