Skateboard Art Influence

Growing up, skateboarding was everything to me. Through skateboarding, I was introduced to a world of creativity that profoundly influenced me, especially skateboard art.
In the 70s, skateboard brands started adding designs to their decks to stand out. What began as simple logos evolved into a renaissance of art and graphic design. These graphics became a unique way of distributing underground art to a wider audience, and as a young skateboarder in the 80's, I absorbed this vibrant art scene completely. The creativity and diversity of these graphics shaped my aesthetic sensibilities and left a lasting impression.
During the 80s and 90s, skateboard graphics saw an explosion of unique creativity. Artists produced everything from pop culture satires to political art, all created independently and without digital tools. This raw, unfiltered creativity is something that deeply resonates.

Despite its importance, skateboard art from this period is often underappreciated. Many original pieces have been lost over time. However, efforts by artists like Sean Cliver, who documented this history in books like Disposable: A History of Skateboard Art.
Through Science Skateboards and it's collaborations I aimed to honor the past by celebrating unique, independent skateboard art. I believed in preserving and promoting the creativity that influenced and inspired myself and others over the decades. By incorporating these principles into the artwork, I hoped to inspire others to appreciate and support the rich history of skateboard art.
