Loved the story behind this,⠀

"This little sketch probably changed my life.  It's 14 years old this month, I still think it's really cool, and it's sales only get stronger with each passing year.  It was originally drawn with a single black Ultra Fine sharpie on a skateboard in my Mom's basement while I was hobbled from injury, dazed from prescription, and pretty down and out.  That Sharpie became my shovel as I dug myself out of that basement.  This image became my rent check as I struggled through the early years of 'artist'. The power of an image is a hell of thing.  #doradthings #rivardart #cherryspoon #mplsart #mpls #minneapolis #art #sharpie #sharpieart #startsomething #makeyourmark #makeyourownluck #illustration #drawing #thankyouskateboarding #thankyou #artlife #minneapolisart #minneapolisskyline #skateboardart #uptown #artist #popart #urbancontemporary #urbancontemporaryart #modernart"
