This companion volume to Artisan United’s earlier release focuses on the graphic universe of skateboard illustration. Featuring work by Jason C Arnold and others, the book captures the gritty, fast-paced language of decks, zines, and streetwear graphics. Through a mix of original art, photos, and interviews, it explores the convergence of youth culture and fine art. A snapshot of an underground scene evolving toward visual legitimacy without losing its edge.

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.
