Walrus TV Artist Feature: Chris Pastras Interview from "The Run Up"

"My personal art, thats my vehicle. When people look at a show theyre almost kinda seeing my diary of my frustrations."
Co-founder and creative director of Stereo Sound Agency skateboards, Chris Pastras artwork ranges from highly personal, journal-like paintings to stylized and fine-tuned design work. Highly regarded within both the skate and art worlds, Chris Pastas surpasses the boundaries between the two, his work overlapping and spilling into both arenas. His work has been featured in numerous publications, including Paper, Lodown, and Slap, and displayed in exhibitions worldwide. Watch the interview from "The Run Up," available for the first time to the public for free, on Walrus TV.
