Phantom Woodsman hasn't really done anything on the site yet :(
My Real Life
<p>Chandler Hayes grew up in back-water Alabama, amongst the larger than life mystic evangelists, civil rights activists and snake handlers. With little formal training to speak of, but an academic mastery of Marvel Comic books and at least one visit to each continent, Hayes found all the education he needed to develop his dynamic style of agile composition and colorful storytelling. Initially a cruiser-weight in the graffiti community, Hayes went on to be an influential studio artist, and creative hand in many start-up board companies across the South-Eastern U.S. Best known for his “Woodsmen” skateboards, each deck is a one of a kind painting on boards hand-made by reclusive craftsmen in both New Zealand and America. Authentic “Woodsmen” are available online and at select shops in both hemispheres. To stay up on Chandler and see more art, visit <a href="http://www.thephantomwoodsman.com">The Phantom Woodsman Official Site! </a> </p><p>CHANDLER IS CURRENTLY SEEKING OPPROTUNITIES TO DO COVERS FOR NEW SERIES, INDEPENDENTLY PRODUCED OR OTHERWISE</p>
My Super Life
Earliest accounts of the Phantom Woodsman are of a stranger moving through out Appalachian hamlets in the thirties. Often the Woodsman was seen associating with local Native Americans and working as a hired hand in timber. A few town records in Georgia even show the Woodsman hunting ghosts for silver. The Woodsman was also the last known man to have spoken with Wicked John; who was fabled to have forged a new hell in Louisiana.
In the late seventies, Dr. Strange called the Woodsman into New York to handle a problem concerning the Wolfen, a Native American werewolf phenomenon. A small pack of Wolfen cubs were terrorizing the burroughs and were difficult to apprehend even by Dr. Strange or Shaman of Alpha Flight. They remained elusive by adapting ancient smoke-signal sorcery to the aerosol vapors of the burgeoning subway graffiti scene. Woodsman was able to capture the young Wolfen by becoming a part of the exclusive art scene in Manhattan. As graffiti writers became the new celebrities of the avant-garde, the cubs became vulnerable to Woodsman unaware of his mystic talents. After capturing them, Woodsman used his haunted axe to command the cubs’ spirits into retainer and they are now his faithful servants.
Ever since the Wolfen, the Phantom Woodsman has remained a behind-the-scenes player in the street art community, as well as an authority on the Supernatural Native American Underground. He is often consulted and enlisted by Dr. Strange, Alpha Flight and Moon Knight as a valuable ally in any paranormal conflict. Woodsman has also been rumored to spirit away earth’s mightiest to a cabin in Alabama each summer for a secret Moon shine festival run by a group of his boot-legger friends from prohibition, (who have mysteriously never aged.) This midsummer festival was where Woodsman met his wife the Dancing Sparrow
Blue Corn Comics is a California based comic book publisher for educational Native-American comic books. But they're on the verge of starting some super hero titles and there is a contest to design heroes based on the ideas they have posted on their website. One entry was for a water based character named Loon who draws powers from his tomem; the loon duck. I thought it was a very striking concept, and am intrigued by Blue Corn itself.
I really couldn't decide about these when they came out. But the other day I came across a pic of them in their packaging and that did it for me! Anybody remember ToyBiz yo? 
This Year I was asked by Snowpark to do a series of decks for their resort signage. I did boards for their restaurant, pro shop café and all the signs in the actual park and around the resort. The whole series is about exploring the charged colors and pop culture imagery from the nineties; bright patterns, dinosaurs and cartoons.
