28 Days of Pico — Day 26: Skater Josh as a Parrot

July 1, 2026  ·  by Stooge

Today’s contribution is a commission for a friend. He wanted me to draw Skater Josh as a parrot, perhaps pico’s cousin. Who is Skater Josh? An O.B. Legend. Kind of a bad boy who skateboards everywhere he goes in O.B. Pico generally travels by backpack. My initial problem was drawing Pico carrying a skateboard and wearing a tee-shirt is that pico is a bird. He neither rides skateboards nor wears tee-shirts. So, I needed an anthropomorphic avatar of Pico. This drawing is what I came up with. This guy represents O.B., San Diego, and Parrot Republic just like Pico.
