Ask why his isn't given more credit for his iconic work in the 70's for NHS, instead of just the stuff he did in the 80's?
Not just the Santa Cruz logos, but Indy, Road Rider, OJ, etc.-
my favorite Phillips piece-
Also, is he under any exclusivity contract with PPS? Could he/would he be willing to do a one off piece for someone who wanted to make a small run of decks? how much would he charge?
What lessons has he learned from past buisness dealings?
What are his feelings about the balance of art and buisness?
Has he ever considered opening up a tattoo shop?
What is his favorite piece of work he's done? And if he could pick one to represent all his work, which would it be? |

That poster from 1977 looks like it could have been done yesterday on a computer using modern software like Adobe Illustrator...and even then it would be considered a good piece. Very ahead of its time. |

How does he feel about being back in the skateboarding world but mainly asked to redo stuff he did 20 years ago.
To what extent is it artistically frustrating.
How does he feel about art being 'over consumed'. Or does he agree that it can be.
Does he have any fears that part of the legacy or iconic status or whatever surrounding himself and/or some of his art will be destroyed by remaking classic art in certain ways.
Is it at the same time somewhat scary to present brand new ideas and possibly having them rejected by his old fans. |

Do you miss the days where you just did art for skateboards without stirring up any controversy and enjoying the golden time of the mid/late 80's when companies were competitive but really just wanted kids to love new board shapes and graphics from a select few pro's on a team that they looked up to?
That is a long sentence - I just miss the 80's myself
