LOST: Ben Linus

No pencil sketch for this one. I just roughed it out in Photoshop and built it up from there.

LOST: John Locke

By Brian Romero | Published: March 30, 2010

I started with a really rough sketch on this piece. What can I say? I was a eager to get to the painting stage and experiment! It’s far from perfect, but I had a blast making it.

Satanically Delicious!

By Brian Romero | Published: February 5, 2010

Two new skateboard graphics I designed are out! First is for my good pal DJ Chavez and Hustle Skateboards. The second is for Lizard King which is a collaboration with Deathwish art director Alfred Rodriguez. It also glows in the dark. Check out Lizard on the cover of Transworld Skateboarding Magazine’s March 2010 issue.

Merry Deathwish!

By Brian Romero | Published: December 25, 2009

The holiday deck I created for Deathwish has been released! It was a small run, so whatever is left in the stores is it! Below is a pic of the infamous Antwuan Dixon who’s depicted as Crip Cringal on the deck. He only signed 50, so if you’re lucky enough to have one they’re extremely limited edition. More pics here.

Apparently they were a hit with the kids this holiday season. More pics of my Deathwish decks in the wild at the Skater Shack in Texas on the Deathwish blog.

Deathwish, Death Freaks, Black Friday

By Brian Romero | Published: November 9, 2009

Since Deathwish posted the new Black Friday 2009 Release I can finally share the work I’ve been doing for them. This project started out as a single deck for Lizard King. After a few sketches the guys at Deathwish decided to have me create a whole series. In the span of two weeks I cranked these suckers out! I want to thank DJ, Erik, Alfred, Matt and Justin for their help making it happen so quickly with zero drama. More decks by me for Deathwish are on the way…
