Skater John

■Skater John by shibachan
John's beginning
I thought of John when I was watching the US professional baseball league, MLB (Major League Baseball) on TV.
・Feel free to play baseball under the blue sky.
・The colorfulness of the team's cap.
・Fans who go to a home run ball that has fallen into the sea beyond the stadium.
When I lived in a small room like a bird cage, I thought, "How free these people are adults?"
I'd like to make an illustration of this world view. He drew John's world.
New York Yankees fans who like skateboarding, surfing, and hip hop.
Don't think about why you're a dog, just play. Moreover, it's popular with women.
JOHN is a character like that.
With love for those who want to be more free than now.
