Title: best shop deck graphics?
Post by: TwisT on February 21, 2016, 03:11:11 PM
shop graphics mostly suck right? They're usually a logo board, or some bad illustration somebody drew. I've designed and printed 3 shop boards. 2 of which I hate and are glad they don't exist. 1 is just basic logo board.

what are some the best shop boards you've guys have seen? Anyone got shop boards on the wall?

There's a shop near me that's printed two different graphics and both of them are pretty sick. Not just their name plastered across the board in some weird font either. One of the local rippers drew both graphics and they put it on Pennswood. The other run was wood from Canada and pressed in Cali. Really nice concave, great shape, and only around $35.

I don't know if it counts as a shop deck/ graphic or a collab, but the Fast Times Passport deck was one of the greatest looking things i've ever seen

I have this on my wall, Skateworks shop board, Jason Adams did the art. It's Chewbacca with Brent Burns' teeth.

This might catch some flak, but this year's opening drop of decks by Supreme are A1. Really a fan of the work they chose to use of Mendini's.

Sick deck. I was recently in NO and was blown away by the street musicians in NO. Didn't make it to preservation hall but I'll be going back for sure.

pres hall is amazing. such a cool small space where countless amazing musicians have played. i went down twice last year, once for a full week for french quarter fest, stumbled into humidity completely hammered and talked to philly for a little bit. shop is super rad.

I thought the Vu Poe boards were really well done. Also use South Central.

yeah boardshops shop decks are always fuckin sick

my local shop from a while back was like part run by habitat, so the shop decks were always sick. I've got one on my wall, (http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/m3nXaCBDtRq6h7PnKIpLR7g.jpg)

another of my local shops which just closed also did a collab with alien about 5 years ago. graphics were ok, just had the soldier logo and the name of the shop.

another shop (galaxie) is run by the same guys who do instrument skateboards, so instrument boards are kind of like their shop decks.

Those both look like Western Edition decks.
