Book Reviews of The Skateboard Art of Jim Phillips

Book Review: Skate boarding son.
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this for my sixteen year old son who likes to skateboard and also dabbles in art. It was one of his Christmas gifts. He enjoyed it greatly. I got it for him more for the art aspect than the skateboarding part. I looked through it as well and I would like to have kept it for myself, but I wouldn't do that to him. It's really a cool book.

Summary of The Skateboard Art of Jim Phillips

This retrospective of Jim's skateboard art bombards the reader with colorful decks, logos, ad art, ad layouts, photos, and stickers to illustrate the history of skateboarding, from the urethane revolution to the present. Take a ride with an inside view of Phillips' Studios, to observe the wacky world of his crazed studio artists and examine their graphic assignments. The story traces the roots of skateboarding with more than half a century of Phillips' involvement. It provides insight to the creative evolution of the sport, and worldwide interest in and influence from this California artist.
