So I’m about to run out the door and head up to Yosemite for New Year’s, so I unfortunately don’t have time to do an lengthy intro. In that case here is what Kid Yellow had to say when I asked him what he’d like me to include:
Fun facts and stuff:
-I’m from New Rochelle, New York
-I’ve been living in San Francisco for about 4 years.
-I am attending the san francisco art institute and will receive my b.f.a. in may 2011
-I like cartoons and it heavily influences my artwork
-Skateboarding is fun
-None of the skateboards in the photo belong to me
I guess thats all. maybe a shameless website plug??
