Sket One's Evel Speederbike @ Back in the Day (07.21.06)

Sket One's concept for the Back in the Day show was to have artists revisit fond memories of the past by customizing a toy they played with as kids.  Evel Speeder Bike combines Sket's  love for Star Wars and America's most infamous daredevil, Evel Knievel.  This piece is sleek and really a powerful combination of mid-80's and 70's pop culture.  Sponsored by Wheaty Wheat Studios, Back in the Day opens on Friday July 21st at L Street Fine Art Gallery in San Diego.
