As a skateboarder and Creativity educator, I know well that the daily challenges of developing creative flexibility is very draining, so I created an artwork that expresses that pain while challenging us to utilize that art and spend it learning to skateboard.
This artwork is an ode to Tom's sacrifice in teaching skateboarding to the new generations... and to the old ones!

Artur ‘Kjá is a Brazilian artist and designer whose professional career is a true patchwork quilt, full of enriching experiences. Since his days as a student, he has demonstrated a unique vision and a fervent passion for design and art, always striving to go beyond the conventional.
Skateboarding and hardcore are an intrinsic part of 'Kjá's life and profoundly influence his work as a Creative. Skateboarding's bold and determined attitude, as well as hardcore's positive mindset, allowed him to weather the odds of having an independent studio and propagate his creative chaos. The DIY (do it yourself) essence present in these cultures also shaped his approach, exploring unorthodox ways of working and communicating concepts.
