Studio City Artist Remembers Summertime Fun

What was your favorite summertime memory? Alex Markus, Studio City artist, attempts to reach the inner kid in each of us by combining favorite childhood summertime memories of skateboarding and Star Wars in “Between Gigs, I Skate.”  So, can you come out and play?

Alex Markus remembers the long days of summer as a kid.  Life was all play and daydreaming.  You were free to hop on your skateboard or bike and ride through the neighborhood heading down to the local theater (which is now a book store) with your friends to see the Star Wars matinee for the umpteenth time.   I am attempting to reach the inner kid in each of us by combining these summertime memories in this latest project “Between Gigs, I Skate,” a series of six works of art that tell the story of what a skateboarding Star Wars Stormtrooper does on his day off.  This project has been launched via Kickstarter.com, a crowd-funding site that provides creative projects with an audience, and is available through July 8th.  

“Between Gigs, I Skate” is the second Kickstarter.com project created by Alex Markus, who works on a wide variety of subjects including: bicycle, surf, skate, and ski art, pet and vintage family portraits, and travel, texture and solitude photography.
