Jim Phillips’ brightly coloured, eye-catching artworks have had a huge influence on the way skateboard graphics have looked since the 1970s. Phillips worked as an artist and designer for NHS (Santa Cruz, Independent, OJs) during the ’70s and ’80s and is best known for the iconic Santa Cruz ‘Screaming Hand’ logo.

The Speed Wheels Art Show celebrates the art of Jim Phillips and Phillips studio from 1985 to 1991, a period that was a golden era for skateboard graphics.

Cheers to Santa Cruz Oz / Atomic for putting on such an epic show.
