apparently that demon graphic was most likely ripped off  from an older artist Virgil Finlay, never heard of him until about 2 weeks ago the guy was an insanely talented pen and ink artist in the early 20th century.

The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.

Just one rip off after another in skating..like a dog eating its own shit.

On a side note - Virgil Finlay is awesome and his influence is huge on 'popular culture'.

Wasn't he on NSS too?

He was.

It was a WTF moment when I saw the ad in Thrasher.

I wasn't familiar with Finlay, but I know I've seen his stuff before. Went looking through some of his work and found another Finlay inspired SC graphic.

Wow, that Tom Knox board is sick. I just searched for a reissue and now I'm battling an impulse purchase: https://www.tactics.com/santa-cruz/knox-firepit-1007-ltd-reissue-skateboard-deck/blue

Just got a stimulus check too... but... must support my local...

I was going to say maybe your local could special order it for you, but just remembered NHS is shut down for the 'rona. That's a fun shape (I'd have to drill the wheelbase back, though)

Interesting seeing him in something other than a sk8 mid. Looks like Tnt 2 mids in the bad shit colour way. The guy that designed that shoe talked shit on it, something along the lines of it was "just a vulc dunk". I personally loved that shoe and still have a pair of the bad shit ones in the low. Perfect puff in the tongue.
