Concrete 2 Canvas -- Bringing together the finest artwork produced by skateboarders around the world, this second volume of skater-art follows on the successful first book Concrete to Canvas.

Since the first time a graphic was hand-drawn onto a board, there has been a deep-rooted connection between skateboarding and art. The culture of skating is a very creative and visual one, with by-products such as board graphics, videos, stickers, magazines, and clothing. As more skater-artists emerge, skateboard magazines feature more artwork on their pages, and there is an increasing number of exhibitions focusing on skater-art.

Each artist's work is highly individual and distinctive, and there is a huge variety in genre, style, method, medium, subject matter, inspiration, and influence. The work featured includes digital art, street art, fine art, paintings, drawings, doodles, illustration, and installation.

Jo Waterhouse is a freelance writer having contributed to magazines such as Modart, and is currently working on a creative clothing and gallery space project 'Ours' with her partner, artist Chris Bourke. Her first book Concrete to Canvas: Skateboarders' Art was published in 2005 (Watson Guptill).
