Thymeless Longboard Series – Adrian Hayles x Longboard Living

March 14th, 2012 by sawtay · No Comments · Adrian Hayles, Behind the Front, Events


 

In collaboration with Adrian ‘Sawtay’ Hayles, we have developed the Ball Point Series. Originally designed on raw wood longboards with ball point pen, Adrian used the architecture of Toronto’s landmark buildings as letters in the word “Toronto”. This became part of a limited edition run of 100 “Toronto” Thymeless decks by Longboard Living. The Series moved to another city very close to both of us, New York. The New York / Toronto Longboard communities are very culturally rich and dependent on the amazing environments and people that surround us. The “New York” signature design will be available in a limited edition run of 50 1″ drop, symmetrical free ride / downhill / commute deck on February 24th during Longboard Living x Adrian Hayles: NYC EDITION @ Uncle Funky’s

My client was very keen on creating a graffiti piece for her unborn son. She wanted it to occupy an entire 12′x15′ wall in her apartment. What is unique about this piece is that it comes apart into three sections for multiple display options and easy mobility. The concept behind this piece was for it to have a place in her son’s life as he grows and evolves. With those directions, I came up with this tryptic piece made up of six canvases that I designed and stretched to fill the 7′x4′ area of the available wall space.

Scion x Manifesto presents All Good on the Hood, Jack Layton tribute

I had the pleasure of painting this Scion car hood as part of Manifesto’s: All Good On the Hood. I chose to base my painting on our fallen solder, Mr. Jack Layton as a tribute to his courage and determination.

A year in the making this stands as the largest piece I have created. Located in the heart of the Market at Four Life Natural Foods, this piece is a reflection of Kensington’s vibrant community. It is designed to instill a sense of self worth and is a celebration of life.

This was an awesome experience and a lot was learned while producing the painting mainly, how to layer colours effectively. This stands as my fines canned mural to date.
