LINO-FIRE
The new Traffic ‘Lino-Fire’ board series by Richard Hart is out now.
“Here are the lino-cut graphics I did for my friends at Traffic. Luke Malaney is a talented woodworker, hence the leaves of trees he likes to use (also an oak leaf cos they are my favourite, and a maple leaf ‘cos it would be rude to have leaves on a skateboard without one). Kevin Coakley likes a good meditation so he gets Buddha under the bodhi tree (this also looks a bit like the PP1 cover, not that Jake is Buddha although at this point, anything is possible). Hiroki Muraoka is one of the best Tokyo street skaters so he gets the most famous bit of Tokyo street- the Shibuya intersection. And then one of the first pro models for James Sayres has that metaphorical journey stretching out before him..”
