Hawaii Skater Inspiration - Check out what I just got

Post by tbafromca »

I have the Hawaii Skater print part of my collection. I just purchased what was the inspiration for it. John Severson made this print in 1964. He was the founder of Surfer magazine. It is 22" x 28". The person I purchased it from has had it since 1964. I have Googled but not found any other mentions of it. Shepard Fairey also did a stencil print of it. Pretty cool to have them both.

Nice! That’s a great print (both the original and faireys).

I collect old stickers...if you’re interested in letting any go, let me know. I’m always looking to add to my collection. I’ve got lots of old ones for trades

just a quick heads up...there's a slightly damaged Hawaii skater print on eBay right now (not my sale, don't know the seller).
