Jim Phillips’ Story Comes Home: 'Art & Life' DVD + Blu-Ray Out Now

“The documentary explores Jim’s dynamic life and career, showcasing his iconic work that has defined an era and secured his place in modern art history,” John Makens, the director and visionary behind the film recently told us. “Jim’s story is a profound narrative of resilience, passion, and enduring artistic vision.” 

There’s no denying Jim Phillips helped shape one of skateboarding’s golden eras, and this doc checks all the boxes. Peep the trailer below if you need a little more enticing.

It goes without saying, but skateboarding wouldn’t be the same without the mind of Jim Phillips. And he’s still cranking out art and graphics to this day. From Santa Cruz, California, to the entire world—he’s the man behind the hand. 

I was fortunate enough to see the film in Encinitas, California, as they were touring it, and I was blown away. It's ripping. It's heartfelt. It's a must-watch.

The Screaming Hand and Santa Cruz ‘Red Dot’ are about as timeless and iconic as graphics get, and we’re barely just scratching the surface of Jim’s work with those. The dude is truly a legend. If you weren't able to attend one of the screenings, get the disc and play it whenever! I'll do the same.
