This week we have been in touch with skate graphic legend Jim Phillips following rumours that Jim and Santa Cruz had joined forces again and are set to work on various SC decks together this Autumn.
Speaking to Crossfire last night Jim told us “Things are looking up! I’m actually doing a cool new Slasher model with Keith Meek. Amazing! I’ve been emailing sketch ideas to Keith all week. It’ll be my first board with Santa Cruz in 18 years…and it’s great to be back. There’s more decks planned for me, and a whole lot of new products. It’s too soon to mention them all, but check it out the NHS booth at ASR tradeshow this September. I’ll be there signing books, and Jimbo’s coming too. A big party is planned there with all the old pro-skaters, lot’s of fun. Santa Cruz sales manager Holly Anderson will be walking the aisles wearing a huge blue Screaming Hand!”
Look out for a full interview with Phillips on this site in October.
