Studio Visit with Jim Phillips
Спорт
Jim Phillips is single-handedly responsible for quite possibly the most recognizable skate graphic of all time: the Santa Cruz “Screaming Hand.” With roots in comic art, surf, car, and, of course, skate culture, Jim’s graphics have become an institution over the past 40 years - he’s influenced just about every skate artist and has helped create the look and feel of the skate graphic as we know it.
Now celebrating 30 years of his iconic Screaming Hand, Jim takes us around his studio and describes his humble beginnings as a comic artist, his relationship with Santa Cruz, and the future of the Screaming Hand. If you’re even remotely interested in skate graphics, you’re gonna need to watch this.

As a designer mad respect
Man yoy guys are the epitome of what a KZread channel should be doing not only for skateboarding but in general you guys are amazing I'm a 27 year old army vet and nothing makes me happier than watching the videos you guys post. It really brought me back to wanting to go out and SKATE everyday and now that's what I do. Thank you guys for all the hard work you're putting into these videos.

DrNo918 Thank you for your service... and thanks for the love!
my son is a graphic designer for skateboards he's only 13. I am proud of him u are his idol
LEGEND! RESPECT.
This is an amazing insight to the beginning of the Santa Cruz logo
Roskopp sold so many boards cause of Phillips!! That is so cool with all three generations hanging out in the garage. I need to go up to Santa Cruz soon to visit.
His son, Jimbo Phillips, is an amazing artist, too.
Great stuff! Yeah Jimbo has indeed inspired many a creative misfit (including myself). Misfit being meant as a complimentary term as these are more often than not the people who think differently enough to bring something fresh and worthwhile to the table. Unfortunately the 'look and feel of the skate graphic as we know it' has in my opinion been tarnished by many skate brands favouring commerciality over originality these days and short changing their audience with weak, uninspiring, or just safe, trend following graphics lacking in any real substance. There are thankfully still a handful that continue to impress, but I feel there's definitely a general need for skate brands to try harder to stretch the boundaries with their artwork rather than just playing it safe and delivering the same tired old imagery.
I live in Santa Cruz and see that screaming hand logo everywhere. I always wondered about it
just got a board with the hand hyped to watch this
The original!!!
FOREVER
Jim you rule!
i dig jimbo style im a fan boy and collector.
Got the tech deck collector series Jim Phillips screaming hand and deck holder, had it for years. Unopened and in mint condition. Wonder how much it’ll be worth in a few more years
Legend. Where can I buy that t-shirt?!

I love your artwork, I've purchased quite a bit and road Santa Cruz boards, grew up in Capitola ..went to Capitola Elementary school. One thing though, I don't understand why you don't recognize Ed "Big Daddy" Roth as being an influence. It's obvious his art style left a major imprint on you. Best Wishes!

One of the cool ones
I wonder if the Roskopp face was inspired by the drowned man he saw on the beach too.
Just me, or did the Santa Cruz hand come from Vampire Hunter D? Just sayin.
Ehh first like
