Since he was young, Ted Kim dedicated his life to skateboarding and making skateboarding movies - spending almost every day and night perfecting his craft. But at 25, a serious skateboarding injury left him feeling lost, and wondering if he would ever skate again. It was then he turned to art as a way of healing. From there, a new passion blossomed, inspiring him to work with murals. Using paint, pencils, and even Sharpie.
