Skateboard Graphic Icon | Jim Phillips, A Brief History | Transworld Skateboarding

[@CaptainFantastik1]

Happy to have been a young skater during his 80's peak. His artwork on those boards is imprinted on me in a big way.

[@NedGonzalez]

Jim Phillips is one of my inspiration to create skateboard graphics. His work is phenomenal!

[@stusux]

Thank you Jim seriously. I have specific memories as a kid walking into skate shops and staring at your art work for hours. I read that Santa Cruz comic 100s of times and rode your graphics for years. You were are one of the reasons I have a lifelong love of skateboarding. Thank you.

[@CantThinkofaCoolOne]

Got the screaming hand sticker on the laptop that I'm viewing this clip on. Iconic! Thanks Transworld.

[@nickingvolboth]

I have it tattooed on my body!

[@CantThinkofaCoolOne]

@@nickingvolboth It is truly one of the most iconic images in skateboarding. Well done .

[@donka4543]

Phillips was the reason I always had Santa Cruz boards. And still have. They look the way a skateboard supposed to look like.

[@ianfrag]

I've watched this a couple of times now and it gets better with each look. Hats off to the team who created and edited this!

[@wagfinpis]

I did some drawings myself back in the day, and LOVED MY ROSKOP 1,3, & 6 DECKS. THANK YOU JIM, many of our souls are connected through you. my buddies had 3 of your Grosso's too. I enjoyed your art in the art of living my life.

[@itisjustacomment]

I icon of my youth. His art was everywhere and a larger part of my life still doing the same today with the new generation.Big up Jim Philips.A true artist of skating culture

[@milesrose4778]

Jim’s Santa Cruz graphics are always the best looking skate graphics

[@Kushalien51_nv]

The screaming hand will forever be legendary fine artwork 👌 Thanks G

[@michaelswanson6677]

This was so good! I was obsessed over Santa Cruz's decks, but I was real crazy over the Rob Roskopp designs. Still am! That ugly face, the melting face, or the big awesome eyeball 👍😉

[@mc540flip]

Love Jim’s art! Thank you so much Jim for the wonderful graphics. Jeff Kendall and Keith Meek’s were my favorite!

[@ChiefBr0dy]

Jim Phillips...... A true LEGEND.

[@jackcarreno907]

Such an iconic all around artist. Not only for skateboarding but, the So Cal lifestyle in general.

[@OscarDiaz420]

These history series are so good. Gotta know your roots

[@seekah1]

We luv ya Jim, so many beautiful pieces. The best!

[@ErgoCogita]

Correction for the video description: *THE* most iconic graphic artist in the skateboard industry, Jim Phillips. VCJ comes in a close second.

[@jasondashney]

Depends on your age I think. For me it was Sean Cliver. He's behind the same number of World Industries/Dwindle classic beyond classics from my early, formative years (early 90's) as Jim and VCJ were to the generation 1/6 dozen years earlier.

[@Bakezor36]

Really enjoy videos like this but just wish it was 10x longer!

[@VANDALISMUS]

now please in full movie length ♥

[@kasper5688]

[@zacharyhollenbach996]

Dope video

[@BrunoCostaBarreto]

Muito obrigado Jim!

[@antoniomendoza5811]

Awesome

[@MosquitoCreative]

The Natas panther in the video was designed by Wes Humpston. Jim Phillips did the other one.

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

I thought Kevin Ancell drew the original panther? I'm old and my memory is shot.

[@MosquitoCreative]

I think Chris Buchinsky did the first panther graphic, Jim Phillips and Wes Humpston did the next three. The one that's shown in this video is Wes Humpston's artwork.

[@chrhadden]

PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN THIS MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THIS. what happened to bullet wheels? i know you can still get the 66mm but i mean the normal ones. i used to rock the 95a 60mm for years. speaking of that, why dont they make 95a wheels any more?

[@timmymelle2737]

[@slimpickkns1178]

More skatehorders please

[@tonchido]

skate imagination would not be the same with out you JIm

[@stevemccart9109]

I wear a screaming hand shirt to this day.

[@crazycatman5928]

Last deck I had was a SantaCruz ever slick. It broke in half after I did a judo air off a launch ramp. The deck wasn’t even a week old. Best deck I ever had was a Hensley stained glass window double kick. The best graphics ever were from World Industries. The Vallely farm deck started it all. Last trick I learned was a 360 flip back in 91. I quit it 92. Wish I never did quit. 30 years later I weigh a buck fifty and if I didn’t have a bad back I’d still be skating. Tom Knox said it best: Once a skater always a skater.

[@StraightPunkEdge93]

NICE

[@matthewkrellwitz8973]

LARRY PERKINS!

[@hugolerigolo8590]

🤙❤️

[@gonzo13ist]

I wish they would put the sun god graphic on a old school shape that is more skateable than other shape they have it on now. Hint hint, wink wink.

[@Siggy_Sour]

dude you got ta slow down and make this rdrawn out, its almost ruuining the history of it.

[@simonvance8054]

80's graphics were generally SO much better than the mindless idiotic garbage you see on boards today. A lot of modern designers seem to be mentally retarded people or satanists that think that just because it's printed on a board it somehow magically becomes 'cool'... There are so many 80's decks I'd buy purely to have them as a piece of art on the wall!...

[@trashbagandrew]

Not saying if you skate this you’re a poser but the Santa Cruz red dot logo is pretty much the face of tiktok posers
