Freestyle - Irvin washington

Irvin “Irv” Washington, hailing from New Orleans, possesses expertise in documentary photography, with a pronounced focus on skateboard culture and the natural environment. Alongside his photography, he demonstrates proficiency as an illustrator in skateboard design, utilizing a range of techniques such as wood burning, digital art, and traditional mediums to bring forth diverse concepts.

“Freestyle” explores the captivating world of skateboard art using various mediums and techniques including painting, drawing, and photography. Each skateboard not only becomes a canvas but also a reflection of the unique identity of that particular skater. How you choose your outfit, style your hair, down to the shoes you choose to wear, the board you select operates in the same way becoming personalized statements, capturing the essence of individual style and self expression. Through this exploration, I aim to highlight the  vast number of creative possibilities embedded in skateboard art.
