Active Skateboard Flash: Hand  

By Amy Hood. Beautiful piece of work. As a creative, the balance between simplicity and complexity in skate and street art has always appealed to me. There’s such strength in the way it draws on iconography and semiotics and never actually has to go any deeper in its meaning than the aesthetic itself.

When I look at this kind of work, it sparks my own desire to make, write, draw and build in a way that so much of what we consider to be “high brow” never can. I wonder how much happier we’d be, if we could see the value in work that exists just because it’s fucking cool. Work that doesn’t have to sum up the human experience, to have worth and value. Work that can just tap into a look, a vibe and a mood.
