Kid Nowe - Who Me (2019)

Original and unique work created by Kid Nowe in 2019 for the Inking Board 001 exhibition, organized by The Daily Board in Lyon.

Titled Who Me, this work features a large red graffiti-style lettering of “BIRIBI,” in reference to the tattoo salon founded by the artist, accompanied by three pin-ups inspired by vintage American imagery and a canine character at the end of the composition.

Created directly on a natural wood skateboard deck, it blends graffiti typography, traditional tattoo influences, and cartoon aesthetics.

The colors red, black, and green contrast with the visible wood, giving this piece a particularly strong graphic identity.
