Vans Syndicate Presents Mike Hill Retrospective

STORY BY MATT PRICE

On Saturday, April 13, Alien Workshop co-founder and art director, Mike Hill, held his first-ever solo art show at Chicago’s Peanut Gallery. The event was proudly presented by Vans Syndicate as a celebration of sorts for their collaboration with Hill on a couple of amazing, from-the-ground-up skate shoes. We went to see twenty-plus years’ worth of Alien Workshop art, including OG puppets and dioramas from the earliest days of AWS everslicks, and a very complete collection of Hill’s work up to this day.

The original sculpture and inspiration for "RV the Racer Aardvark" was featured among the collection of paper mache sculptures and puppets. Check it out Here
