Hi, I am Boomer the Architect. I have been skateboarding and working on my art since I was 15 years old. However, I never called or even considered myself to be an artist my older sister has held that title since she was 2. It was tough comparing lines on a page to the Mona Lisa. So, I got into skateboading and got better primarily in vert. I started doing local competitions around 20 years old and I even enter the West49 Canadian Open in 2004. I was nowhere near ready but it was a learning experience. I got to drop in and skate the vert with the pros. From there, I started to get better, however in 2006, I had an accident, I had six seizures within a two-hour time span, and it took me away from the skateboarding. I was devastated. When I moved to Los Angeles in 2017, I became homeless and went to Venice Beach. From there, my friends encouraged me to start working on art. I started with a skateboard and a few pieces of wood. I slowly started to make money and I invested in canvases and other art supplies.After 6 months of being on the streets, I got housing. Then a miracle happened. I was medically cleared to do whatever I wanted. (I pretty sure skateboarding was not the first thing on the doctor's mind, oops.) So, I grabbed my friends skateboard aka "Old Faithful" fixed it. It's been 10 years. I am back into skateboarding, art, and chess. Now, I have over 50 original paintings and made over 250 unquie graphics with my love for art, skateboading, and chess; and I started my own skateboard company. My work is current desplayed https://www.boardpusher.com/12n2designs . You can also follow my progress on instgram @12_n_2_designs or #12n2designs. All of my art is drawn on canvas and painted with acrylic; from there I Photoshop, and screen print them on the back skateboards. The name 12n2 is not just a chess term it is a way of life. It means see 12 moves ahead play for 2. Have your dreams, your goals, and your life planned to know you are going to face opposition and change. At 12n2 designs, we are dedicated to providing a high level of employee empowerment with the dedication to professionalism without compromise. We bring passion and authenticity to the world of skateboarding while providing high-quality boards and gallery style art.
