This is so cool, I just started my own skateboard/art closet shop. Art is such a great way to express yourself

Art like music goes together with skateboarding like peanut butter and jelly. I love sharpies I use them when I draw all the time and I like to try new undiscovered ways to use them like him. Love this episode

Love this ! My much used deck when it all gets suffed up on where the graphics where... i say where, there long gone but i have cleand it up with some acetone and hit it with a mixture of sharpies and posca pain pens so many times and given it new " graphics " that ive been asked how many decks do i chew through in such a short time ? What deck are you riding now? This deck has had 6 new desinges on it over the past summer. Currently has a flamming 8 ball blazing its way across the bottom of my deck that im really happy with.. I will be sad to see this one go . Its hitting the rainy season here now so thats going to be on their for a while waiting for better weather but you would not know that there is a zero deck under all my moments of " thats on its way out " art wise ...." time to change that". Yet everyone seems to rever their battke scared decks? i just dont care about proving if i can scuff up my board. Im proving nothing to no one! Id love to get my hands on some quality blanks but all i seem to find is dodgy cheap blanks from china that i just dont want to spend the money on to find i hate the deck to ride. I dont want to just make art on mine , i will , i do ride them . So ill just keep revamping my deck untill it dies and spend to have someone else art on the next one for a bit and the whole process will start again.... looking like i have a newish deck every few weeks..been doing it since ...... maybe my second deck.... way to many years to admit because then ill have to say im old...lol Its amazing what a difference some new grip tape or if the grip tape is not done yet , attacking it with some spray paint stencil work dose after you just changed the art work.... newish decks all the time.🤘 But no matter how you try , you cant hide razer tail with paint pens through , nup , no hiding that... lol
