SkateFair
S’kateboarding and art have always been a place of healing for most people. Creating art helps artists to escape into a place of imagination. It helps escape the realities that most couldn't change due to circumstances outside our control. You can feel the most authentic when creating something new. It's the same with skateboarding. The feel of riding a board. The movement and the flow of life. The sound of wheels clicking on the sidewalk cracks. A sound that still to this day when I'm looking out the window to see who is skating by. The people you meet and the bonds of friendship you build through practicing your art with them. A cycle of mental healing and physical pain can be very cathartic.” -Jesse F
