FEATURED ARTIST:
TODD FRANCIS, USA
"Best known for applying political and environmental satire to his past graphics "
Todd Francis has been designing skate graphics for fifteen years. He is perhaps best known for applying political and environmental satire to his past graphics for Antihero Skateboards, which continues in the artwork he develops today for Element. Born in Los Angeles, Todd moved to San Francisco and began working for Deluxe in 1993, where he helped create graphics with Jim Thiebaud and Tommy Guerrero for Real Skateboards, and worked with Jason Lee and Chris Pastras developing art for Stereo Skateboards. A couple years later, Julien Stranger started Antihero Skateboards, and Todd was soon creating logos and boards that were bold, cruel and just really screwed up. The Eagle Logo graphic he created for Antihero became an international skate icon, and the pro boards they designed featured heart warming subject matter like incurable diseases, disgruntled employees, pigeon coitus and circus freaks.
