He won his first title in 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the second Powell Peralta deck he provided the art for. In his words, \"What I focused on when creating this piece was making sure it had an impact that wouldn't lose to the previous work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe last signature model featured an intertwining of human figures and a skull, but this time, I made the skull a larger focal point and aimed for a more horrific and striking overall effect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, I don’t usually start drawing with a clear vision of the whole image in mind. I tend to draw rather instinctively and casually. For example, as I mentioned, I vaguely think something like, “I want this to have a stronger impact,” but that’s about as concrete as it gets at first. From there, it’s more like letting my hands move on their own, digging the image out from the paper or screen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the drawing progresses, I gradually get a clearer idea of what I want to create. After producing multiple versions, I was finally able to arrive at a deck design that gives me real motivation when I ride it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product attribute clearfix description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"additional-attributes-wrapper table-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\" class=\"data table additional-attributes\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-th=\"Brand\"\u003ePowell-Peralta\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\"\u003eDeck Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-th=\"Deck Shape\"\u003e242\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\"\u003eDeck Construction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-th=\"Deck Construction\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"attribute-help\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-popup=\"\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Created from 7 plys of North American hard rock maple with water resistant, high strength glue and sealed against moisture with a lacquer semi-gloss finish.
