This isn’t as offensively terrible as other stuff posted, I just don’t know what the fuck it is and Tony D deserved better for his first pro board

With context that Numbers graphic is a bit better, but still basically ruined by the weird doodles and highlighting. I kind of wished they put just the stretched out skull without any of the shitty edits to it and called it a day. Ain't no way Hans Holbein the Younger is gonna Cease-And-Desist you from his 500 year old grave.

I actually like it. i like that they used it horizontal and spread the skull that way. its dadaism but I still like the design.
which leads me to the question:

do you prefer your deck prints vertical or horizontal? (classic real would be horizontal and fa boards vertical) and what's your personal preference for the wood color on top of you board? mine is yellow pink and green. I hate red or no color. completely color dipped decks is also not good imo.

also have to agree on the toy machine boards. if the print was hand painted and the used wood grain background it wouldn't look as cheap. even though those decks are ugly imo.

no it isn’t

explain to me what dadaism is and what the meaning behind a lengthened skull made out of a several pieces like a collage is?  its non sense

dada isn’t a catch all term for modern art. refers to a place and time.

it does but you could compare it to the works that came from that place and time. to me it has lots of similarities.

to me you can recreate any form or era of art right now and call it that way. its not modern art only because you drew it yesterday

this board graphic was made by random coincidently placed collages and lines. it doesn't make sense at all yet the artist decided to call it art.

for me and my eye its art and it looks great even though it has no meaning or cause whatsoever. you could say that about lots of modern art but this is made out of collages which reminded me of the dada movement. modern forms of art came out of that movement so why not call it dada?

That’s just not how that works.

If it’s made now it’s contemporary.

You don’t get to choose.

you can answer your own question by reading the post you quoted again

It’s not dada or contemporary or post modern. It’s a graphic on a skateboard, mass produced and made by a graphic artist. Let’s not get carried away here.

That Gator graphic is a classic, doesn't deserve to be on this list.  Also, I like the Durao graphic.  I always dig what Numbers puts out, though.

[close]

i've never understood why people thought the Gator graphic was sweet--for that matter, really any of the original Vision graphics, and that's coming from someone who has the original Mark Gonzales graphic tattooed...although, that "Old Ghost" John Grigley graphic was kind of cool...but fuck, this shit right here is awful:

That board is pretty cool considering it’s a spoof on one of his Blockhead graphics, I wish they took more time to make it instead of using inspect element.

which leads me to the question:

Dadaism can (and does) exist in contemporary art, but like others said, this isn’t it.

Dadaism often uses absurdity to highlight a kind of subversive message. Like the the R. Mutt urinal suggests. It was a direct joke at the ideals of art at the time, especially during WE1, which was the first time slaughter was on an industrial scale.
