BOARDWALK






The Skate or Die Show at Youngblood Gallery http://youngbloodgallery.com/




100 artist 100 boards and the auctions started at $100 dollars.




These are a few boards I thought stood out amongst the rest, but I did miss a few.


The great thing about shows like this is you get to see the wide range of creativity in which all the artist have the same perimeters, or structure to create and articulate their vision. I only wish the auction started at maybe $75 dollars instead of $100 which allows the patrons of the event to bid more competitive. I would have love to bid on a board or three but there were no room in my account to place my name on more than one board and possibly win all three. Lowering the price would have allowed more people to bid and possibly more sells, but I am pretty sure they turn over a lot of sells. Also I must admit some of the boards were worth more than $100 dollars but some were worth less, which is only in the eye of the beholder, but since it is me on the mic, that's my opinion. Overall I believe the show was a success because the majority of work was top tier.

Also Youngblood just picked up a few of the new 75mixedmedium T-shirts and Bags so stop through and grab one while supplies last.
