TODD
BRATRUD
Growing up in the middle of nowhere.... Crookston, MN - a small farming community in rural northern Minnesota. There really wasn't much to do unless you were into football, hunting or throwing things off the bridge. I wasn't into football or hunting and throwing things off the bridge got old after about 14 years. I moved onto drawing and skateboarding as a means for fun around 1989. Somewhere along the way I ending doing things art related for Consolidated Skateboards for a good number of years. These days I am lucky enough to be doing art on a regular basis for Flip Skateboards, Volcom, The Skateboard Mag, Nike, Familia Skateboard Shop as well as sort of running Teenage Runaway Urethane and also all kinds of odds and ends for Burlesque Design of North America. On top of all that stuff, still skateboarding most every day. All I do is still done as a means for fun, the only real difference is not having to bag groceries for rent money any longer.
THIS SEASON Volcom has teamed up with legendary skate graphic wizard Todd Bratrud for an exclusive Featured Artist Series lineup of custom edition LIZARD-PRINT product. This product lineup includes a t-shirt, hooded sweatshirt, HAT, SOCKS, belt, I-POD CASE, SANDAL, SLIP-ON and wallet. There will be a series of large-scale international artshows featuring Todd (and special guests) to HELP support the product. These shows will coincide with the RELEASE of a Bratrud-designed limited edition product support calendar. We are very excited to be working with Todd on this level and look forward to the culmination OF our collective efforts.
