The story of Jim Phillips Screaming Hand

Skateboarding
Jim Phillips is one of the most iconic skateboard artists in the history of the sport. The graphic designer created the famous Screaming Hand.
Jim Phillips was born in San Jose, California, in 1944.
Phillips grew up as an Army brat and moved from place to place until he was six years old. Drawing was one of his first hobbies.
He would open the comic sections in the newspapers and start drawing the characters he saw. And that was the fuel that lit the fire.
Jim has been a freelance graphic artist forever, and his major influences include Wally Wood, Carl Barks, Will Elder, and Tex Avery.
A week after Jim Phillips was named the new commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference, Northwestern announced the formation of a search committee to find a new athletic director.
Janna Blais, deputy director of athletics for administration and policy, will serve as interim vice president for athletics and recreation upon Phillips’ departure in February. Blais currently leads five NU athletics departments and serves as department liaison at Big Ten and NCAA meetings.
“I’m thrilled that Janna Blais, who has been a key leader here for more than a decade, has agreed to serve in the vice president and athletic director role on an interim basis,” University President Morton Schapiro said. “I have full confidence in Janna’s ability to guide the department while we move forward in searching for Jim’s successor.”
