Wes Humpston Interview from "The Run Up"

"The board was the key to the whole thing—the better your board,the better you were gonna ride." -Wes Humpston

Best known for his work on the original Dogtown boards, Wes Humpston has been involved in skateboard graphics since the 1970's. Still heavily inspired by Zap Comics, art nouveau, and album covers, his designs retain their original Cali-born aesthetic. In addition to appearing on vintage Dogtown Skates decks, his artwork is now featured on the old school decks from his new company Bulldog Skates.
