Our boy Evan Mock has been doing it all right. The skateboarding with a surf influence. The surfing with an artistic influence. The hair. The shout-outs from Frank Ocean. The man for Slowtide and other brands. VOGUE dug into how Frank ended up shouting him out via the artist Tom Sachs and what he had to say about the new found fame.

Sample:

“He’s an original,” Mock explains. “And like [Frank] I aspire to keep reinventing myself. I want to express myself while keeping people on their toes.” In that spirit, the rising creative credits Ocean for empowering him and his peers to buck feminine and masculine stereotypes. “There are no boundaries now,” says Mock, who plans on keeping his hair neon fuchsia for the foreseeable future. “You can do whatever the fuck you want!”
