"Rollerblading has always retained a wealth of artists among its ranks, spanning the spectrum of various crafts. In particular, the illustration realm has been a pivotal facet for many rollerbladers. Mike Johnson is a self taught 3D generalist working for a top-flight CGI studio. JC Rowe is heralded in the sneaker game for his digital illustrations. So when I stumbled upon Ross Martin’s illustrations of various skates under the moniker of Blade Junkies, it was no surprise that he, like many of his counterparts, was self taught, quickly developing a precise eye for vectoring. With that in mind, I decided to ask Ross a few questions about the inspiration and fruition of his craft." - Ryan Loewy for be-mag.com
