A zine-like publication with the polish of a gallery book, Artisan United: Illustration and Fine Art highlights work by Todd Bratrud and collaborators at the intersection of street culture and visual art. Skate, punk, and DIY aesthetics inform the drawings, typography, and layout. This 2009 edition serves as both sketchbook and manifesto, blending raw graphic experimentation with highly curated curation. It reflects the spirit of independent illustration culture from the late 2000s.

Jason C. Arnold works across illustration and design with a focus on skate culture. Based in California, he has served as an art director at NHS, contributing to Krux Trucks and OJ Wheels, and has produced graphics for Creature, Santa Cruz, and Independent. His studio practice blends gestural mark-making with clear composition, favoring rhythm and atmosphere over ornament. Recent exhibitions in Santa Cruz present this language off the board and onto canvas. Arnold also supported skate culture through editorial projects that highlighted established and emerging artists with the same attention and respect for craft.
