Love Hug - Skatedeck by Emily Crook

Emily was born in 1996 and studied Graphic Design at Middlesex University, but always had a passion for art. Upon graduating Emily changed her career path and became dedicated to creating art and finding her unique artistic vision. ­Emily takes her inspiration from fashion, culture, pop and street art and then merges these with icons from popular culture which she grew up surrounded by. 
Emily has always followed street art and this takes influence in her backgrounds. The backgrounds are all created using spray paint and hand cut stencils and then acrylic paints are used to hand paint her chosen icon over the top. Finally Emily’s love for fashion comes through many of the pieces as the her icons will usually be found holding shopping bags or be wearing luxury brands.
