Fowkes said a watermelon theme is not new to skate bowls—it is bright, summery and associated with the fun of childhood, and it also has practical characteristics. The main part of it was creating something that had a cohesive feel, but also was engaging and fun for the kids to do. But ultimately, for him, it was something that we could achieve in four days. In terms of mural execution, the design is very simple. But I knew it would have a lot of impact. Fowkes said the hope is that the bowl’s artwork will be changed and added to over time. The idea is that it doesn’t have to last forever. The idea is that someone’s going to come along and spray paint it, someone’s going to add to it, someone’s going to evolve it, someone’s going to change it—that’s inevitable. It’s not meant to be perfect forever. And that’s kind of a cool lesson for the kids as well: you make something, and it’s about the making of it, not just always the final piece, because it will get marked up, it will get changed. People are going to scratch it up, mark it up; it’s going to evolve. He is hoping that people collaborate with it. While Fowkes determined the watermelon theme, the youth were engaged with every step of the execution of making it come to life.
