Vert Vibes

Commissioned by pro skater and X Games medalist Rony Gomes, Wagner illustrated the dynamic 2025 poster for Vert Battle, Brazil’s biggest vertical skateboarding competition.

Since its debut in 2016, the event has become a landmark in the national skate scene, and Wagner's artwork matches the high-flying spirit of the sport.

The graphic, adrenaline-charged design features anthropomorphic birds mid-air on a half-pipe, capturing both the intensity and creativity of vert skating.

With a color palette that pops and characters full of swagger, his poster sets the tone for the championship’s electrifying stops across Goiânia, Niterói, Curitiba—and a surprise final location yet to be announced.
