Artist Keith Watts pays tribute to London skateboarding
- Text by HUCK HQ
- Photography by Size?/Stem Agency
Artist Keith Watts’ collaboration with Nike SB for their new Fit to Move collection celebrates London skateboarding with a series of wall illustrations, five-piece graphic decks and a short animation.
Keith’s raw, free-flowing style is perfect to reveal the city’s sense of movement and what makes London great from a skater’s perspective.
“Generally I start by drawing from life wherever possible,” Keith told Size? “I stood at the end of Shadwell DLR platform for 5 hours and drew most of the cityscape after my first meet with the guys at Nike.”
Check out Keith’s illustrations on the the walls of Carnaby Street’s Nike SB/Size? store in London.
