I had to find other ideas … very quickly, I turned to the skate world, through my friend Christophe with whom I was graffiti for many years and which for me is a true reference in this environment because Is simply his life. So I had fun making this little character: Chang.
As in all my achievements, I try to make a composition by adding one or more elements without overloading the scene, just a small element to balance the whole. In this case, no head cut;) but a simple bar attached to the base gray bitumen to make a good old Frontside lipslide …
I also wanted to give him a little punk side, a few pics of black color is enough to give him that look (with a work on the pants prince of galls that goes well and a little wink to the brand Vans that l ‘No longer presented in white letters on a black tee-shirt).
