The original Screaming Hand Logo by Jim Phillips, Sr.
A Traveling Art Show Celebrating Thirty Years of the Screaming Hand
A tribute to the artist Jim Phillips and a skateboarding icon.
"In 1985, in a small art studio on the Eastside of Santa Cruz, CA, Jim Phillips Sr. was creating images that unbeknownst to him would affect
generations of artists and skateboarders to come. Of all of the iconic
imagery that Jim created; the Screaming Hand logo has stood the test of
time. Thirty years after its inception, the Screaming Hand still remains
an unmistakable symbol of youth and skateboard culture.
In honor of Jim Phillips Sr. and the Screaming Hand logo, we have invited over 48 of the world’s most influential artists of the past 30 years to interpret and pay homage to this iconic image.
Each artist’s interpretation of “The Hand” will be on display. There
will also be an audio tour accessible by smart phone, narrated and
describing their first experience with Phillips’ work as well as a
backstory on their piece for the show.
