Mark Gonzales, known affectionately as GONZ, was born in California on June 1, 1968, and is currently 52 years old. He emerged as a pioneer in street skateboarding in his teens and was recognized in 2011 as "the most influential skateboarder in the world." He also possesses an artistic talent, having provided illustrations for numerous apparel brands, including Supreme.
The original "PRIEST," which is now being recreated in ceramic, was released in 2000 by the British record label Mo Wax. Based on Mark Gonzales's design, it was an innovative project where Ben Drury, Mo Wax's art director at the time, produced 1,000 sculptures, each individually hand-painted and customized by Gonz himself.
This "PRIEST" is manufactured by "ONE KILN," a distinguished ceramic workshop in Kagoshima. It will be presented as an exclusive item for 2G, complete with a lot number. The piece exudes Gonz's signature relaxed charm, making it an irresistibly endearing item. Seize this opportunity to make it yours.
