ART COLLABORATION: Element
WEBSITE: www.ooo000ooo.com
Brian Morris is an artist from the South side of Chicago, Illinois who likes to break out of the studio and put his skills to work on a canvas of skin in the tattoo parlor and on classic Cadillacs in his garage. I eat red meat, prefer whiskey over beer, my favorite color is black and I was born in 1976, says Morris. I work in digital advertising, I’m married, I have a 1962 Cadillac in my garage and I don’t believe in god, I believe in people. I’m a heavy metal poser, I like country music, Sharpies, and I have a beard and tattoos and long hair. I’m deeply in love, early to bed, early to rise, and a saver not a spender. I think old is new, new will be old and that you can’t take it with you. I’m a shit-talker who is trying to get back to the basics. His unique urban-tattoo style graphics brings a powerful look to Arbor’s legendary ride-it-all powerful performance snowboard known only as the Element.
