Being the Art Director for Defiant is an absolute dream. Not only do I get to oversee all the aesthetics, artwork and design, I get to do rad action-sports shoots with our fantastic riders. These guys carve it up day and night, rain or shine. We recently did a shoot at the Greenlake skate park here in Seattle with one of our daredevils Charlie Philipp. Charlie excels on the verts and gets into an insane routine down in the bowls and out onto the rails. He maintains some heavy air time and is constantly on the thread of explosive defiance. Charlie, AKA Chuck D, is an amazing dude. This cat has the heart of a lion and a fierce yet positive attitude everywhere he skates. Here is a montage of some sick footage I had a blast putting together that day.
