Sometimes the creative process takes us in different directions than we originally intend. While this is often not a bad thing, it does make one wonder who is really in charge - the artist, or the process? This began recently while working on the design displayed here. The concept itself was very straightforward, find a theme for this amazing flower found growing randomly in the yard a few weeks ago. All sorts of ideas came to the forefront, including the flower growing in a variety of desolate locations. Then the thoughts turned to the transformation pieces done earlier this year, most notably Muninn. The final result is the Phoenix Flower that has been making its way around the studios' social media feeds and Deviant Art. If this all stopped here, then it would be an interesting story if nothing more. The true revelation is during the review of this art piece, a whole new idea sparked, again based off of the earlier transformation pieces and the Muninn project.

The new direction the studios is currently undertaking is a series of skateboard designs based around Muninn and some banner designs that have cropped up after completing Phoenix Flower. In the coming weeks, the studios will be showcasing the entire range of skateboard designs created from this spark of inspiration. The total number will be quite hefty and may warrant a separate page on their own.

Stay tuned...
