Guest artist Cleon Peterson is an LA-based graphic artist and painter who happens to work at Studio Number One. I’ve know Cleon since 96 or 97 when we were both living in San Diego and he was one of the most sought after illustrators in the skateboard business. Cleon has designed logos and graphics for Foundation Skateboards, Pig Wheels, and Zero Skateboards to name a few. I hired Cleon for various freelance projects in San Diego and he even went postering with me some. A few years later Cleon got a design degree from Art Center, and then a Masters from Cranbrook. He offered to help design my monograph “Supply and Demand” and was so good we brought him into Studio Number One full time. -Shepard
