Designers
I have no special insight into the work of Jim Phillips and there is a lot out there about his style and art, so I’ll keep this brief.
To me, Jim is someone with a passion for art, graphics, style, and involved in a culture spanning generations.
Jim has been involved in the art of the skate world forever. He and Santa Cruz are lucky they found each other. They’re a match made in heaven.
Here are some of my favorite pieces from Jim’s work:
