Lane Tech students in an Art 1 class with Ms. Chisholm designed and painted an image for a skateboard deck. These 10 students were then selected by popular vote to have their painted image printed on a real skateboard deck. These maple wood boards printed by BoardPusher.com, are standard popsicle-shaped decks with pre-drilled holes for wheels. They can become usable skateboards if desired or can hang on the wall as a fine art painting.

This particular piece was designed by Elise Lorenz

Title: Prowling

Artist's Statement: When I was younger, I had a sort of obsession with wild animals, specifically big cats, and since then I have still loved them. They are both majestic and powerful, so I thought a tiger would be great subject matter for this piece.
