Tlaloc: pre-columbian super retro
A skunkwork project I’m brewing for ATL Surfboards. Hooking them up with some “retro” lams for my new fish with the opaque nuclear green/white tints with sloppy border. with um, Marlin Bacon 101 bamboo twin keel fins. yeeewww!!!
The first lam is Tlaloc, the Aztec god of rain. This guy holds a special place in many peoples’ hearts here in mexicolandia. I asked the homies what I should do for the logo and Tlaloc came up. I thought about it for a while and remembered a photo I came across of a late classic period statue of an “uber-hip” Tlaloc that was recently put on display in Munal in Mexico City. This rendition is so outside of the normal “dancing god” imagery associated with Tlaloc, that I’m not quite sure if people will get it right away.
The second lam: I was trying to get away from your average logo with something that was larger and “hipper”. not sure if I succeeded but I know it’s gonna look dope on the green monster.
One of these days I wanna hook up with Marco and do some art directly on the board. freestyle.
