Sandow Birk (born 1962) is well known for highly-detailed realist paintings with stark political content, often darkly comic, often about California. He made a series of skater works first in pencil on paper as spoofs of Robert Luongo's iconic 1980s Men in Cities drawings, in which yuppies dance in awkward poses. He reprised them as Skatistas shortly after in crayon on canvas while on Fullbright scholarship to Brazil.
