ENGEN

I was employed to paint a skateboard for an Engen advert celebrating the fact that they had been crowned "coolest petroleum brand" by SA's youth 2nd year in a row. What makes a petrol station "cool" is beyond me.

The graphics on the board were designed by the ad agency's in house designer, I offered to draw them up some real graffiti lettering but it wasn't in their budget, so I merely copied the design exactly. As much as I appreciate the work why don't they just get a real graffiti writer to do some proper lettering instead of this failed attempt? I guess the kids won't notice. (They do.)

Done with Molotow paint markers, which are the shit.
