Punk rock does it again.
I had fun the night before making a silly little print, so instead of catching up on sleep (I was only up till midnight last night though), I made another print. Another skater dude print. Good times!
Rise Above, 4x4 inches, Woodblock Print
It’s pretty much the same thing as I did before, a dude with a skateboard who looks kinda excited about the fact that he has a skateboard. Who wouldn’t be excited about riding a skateboard?
Actually, all this talk makes me want to grab my skate out of the closet and start bombing down these hills I live on. Anyway, I know I can’t skate worth a darn anymore, and 6′-2″ is a long way for my head to fall before it hits the ground.
This idea is just a repeat from the night before. I don’t know why I did the same thing over again, this isn’t on my schedule or anything, I just enjoy making these things. I may make a few more of these, we’ll see. I have to deliberate with myself. It’s not like these goofy little prints require a ton of practice, they are just fun.
I only printed 4 of these last night, because I was tired by the time I got around to printing. I may carve a little more on this, I think I want to see how it will look if I carve a white line around the figure, to separate him from the lines in the background.
We’ll see. Maybe I won’t carve any more. It’s just punk rock, right? Rise above.
Important stuff
This print was brought to you by some great early 80’s hardcore:
- T.S.O.L. – T.S.O.L.
- Agent Orange – Living in Darkness
- SNFU – And No One Else Wanted To Play
- Black Flag – The First Four Years
- Black Flag – Damaged
- Minutemen – Paranoid Time
- Minutemen – The Punch Line
- Redd Kross – Born Innocent
I can guarantee I won’t toil away my hours tonight, I got something to do. I won’t be home. If you were hoping that I would somehow have yet another of these little prints done tomorrow, I won’t.
It’s also punk rock to skip days.

Skateboarding was fun but I don’t miss it. It hurts even for 5’4″ guys like me. Snowboarding is more my style but I’ve only done it once.

My knees won’t put up with anything where my feet are strapped down, because they tend to dislocate when I twist around. Snow boarding and skiing are out.
Skating and surfing are totally fine though.
Your prints are way cool. Doolin had a couple of links that are sweet. This one is cool too even though I could only fall down skateboarding.

Nice work Deacon. I like the woodblock look. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with on Twitter.
Peace

@justin, thanks! I’m pretty sure I would fall off my skate if I tried now. It’s been years.
@Siddhartha, this twitter offer is a complete experiment, I’m curious to see how it goes!
Most of my best work has been done when I’m supposed to be doing something else.

Yeah, strange how that works. Unfortunately, I was supposed to be sleeping when I did these.
