I’m not very good at coming up with this stuff so I got someone to do it for me:
“Chris Bourke is an artist, skateboarder and skate shop owner based in Worcester, UK. He’s owned and operated the fiercely independent skate shop Spine for the last ten years.
For the last four years, he has worked almost solely in the labour intensive medium of lino prints; cutting and printing each design by hand himself, so no two prints are the exactly same. His influences are tattoo art (having trained as a tattooist), religion/religious art, music, nature and politics.
Chris has produced work for Document Skateboard Magazine, Skateboard and t-shirt graphics for A Third Foot, Death Skateboards, and for Consolidated Skateboards in the US.
His work has been featured in several books and magazines including Modart, +1, Sidewalk and Inked, Concrete to Canvas: Skateboarders’ Art. and the 2009 book ‘Art by Tattooists: Beyond Flash’.
He has also exhibited his work in solo and group shows internationally.”
