I have worked on a wide variety of projects, from vinyl record designs for Electric Taurus and Sierra to skateboard designs for Lifeblood Skateboards, LastDay Skateboards, Substance Lifestyle Goods, Future Sk8 STL, Burning Spider Stoke Company, Omen Longboards, Alchemy, Thunderbird Skateboards, and Bad Grease. I also design wine labels for Windy Wine Company, have designed for several rap artists, including Apathy and Celph-Titled, as well as Air Mezy, and The Red Baron. I have been featured in Thrasher Magazine, and most recently was featured in Gnarly magazine and did the artwork for a story on the movie Sk8face, which featured my take on a mash-up of classic Jim Phillips Santa Cruz artwork.
Artists that inspire me range from amazing Santa Cruz skateboard art by Jimbo Phillips (and his father Jim), to metal art by Santos Illustration, the artwork of John Dyer Baizley, Pushead, VCJ, comic artists Clay Henss and Sam Keith, tattoo artists Heather Menteer, Jay Dee Bawden, Christopher Parry, as well as a huge number of amazingly talented artists I’m friends with on social media.

WALTER CUETO
I was accepted to Art & Design where, at the time, we had to take four periods of art. I fell in love with the airbrush and never put it down since 1988. Fast forward to today, and I continue my education, I attempt to take yearly airbrush classes, in order to improve and grow.
