Type of graphic Opera wishes they came up with.

However, the current wave of high-brow aesthetic in skating gets worse and worse each year.
Wow sorry, didn't realise I was dealing with a sick cunt here

Based on the description alone it sounds like madness.

I would have never guessed no one would want to do boards. There is something to be said about wasting money for fun. It's essentially what I was doing with my board brand. I enjoyed it for a while.

There might be some AI elements used, but after looking thru their Instagram I think it’s most likely mediocre to okay photoshop collages of open source (or ripped) baroque and renaissance paintings. As a designer who works primarily in photoshop, I’ve seen worse but I’ve definitely seen better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Too much positivity here … are you guys ok?

Thanks for the kind words … those of you who gave them. 🙏🏻

Let’s see how this plays out. Somehow I made candles work! If not, fuck it. So many things I want to try.

New show is still coming soon but I got super hyped and consumed with this so wanted to dial it in first!

Setting: Right here
Time: Right now

Context:
You placed an order for a board from a new start up company. They quickly provided shipping information and you received your order in an expected amount of time. After spending some time with the board, you decide to call customer service due to an issue you have not experienced with boards coming form other board manufacturers. After calling the customer support number, you are placed on hold after navigating a maze of options from a computerized operator.



You listen to the soothing sounds of the soundtrack that is their customer service hold line. Eventually, a customer service representative answers.

Customer service [no one]: Thank you for being a loyal customer. How may I be of assistance?

You: Hi... I... um... recently bought a board from you guys and I am wondering if it is defective.

Customer service [no one]: Well, thank you for reaching out to us. Customer satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us here. Can you describe what type of issues you are experiencing? For example, is the board de-laminating or splitting plies vertically in an unusual manner that would suggest it is a matter of manufacturer defect?

You: Thank you for asking, but no, it is not necessarily either of those per se.

Customer service [no one]: Thank you for helping me better understand your position. Can you describe what types of issues you are experiencing?


You: Well, I received the board and set it up day 1 and it skated great. Excellent pop, great dimensions, firmness, etc. It was perfect timing too because I planned on going on a weekend trip with friends the next two days.

Customer service [no one]: Okay...

 
You: The rest of the weekend the deck was completely soft, like I had left my board in my truck for a month in the desert.

Customer service [no one]: [audibly angry breathing out of irritation]

 
You:.... are you still there?

Customer service [no one]: Oh, I'M HERE.

 
You: Oh okay, sorry. I guess I just wanted to find out if any of your other customers are having the same issue with the wood not maintaining rigidity.

Customer service [no one]: MAYBE THE BOARD IS GOING THROUGH A LOT OF STRESS RIGHT NOW AND HAS A LOT ON ITS MIND AND THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR IT TO STAY HARD. DID YOU EVER THINK OF THAT?

You:... I uh....

Customer service [no one]: MAYBE THE BOARD NEEDS A MORE COMPASSIONATE RIDER WHO IS LESS JUDGEMENTAL AND UNDERSTANDS IT IS JUST A TEMPORARY PHASE.

You: I'm not getting a refund or replacement, am I?

Customer service [no one]: -click-

How about some weekend buzz graphics? Or maybe a Chris Cole guest board with him smashing up a car or bashing a woman?

Go flip through some old CCS archives from back in the day if you want to feel even more bummed. You'd think skateboard companies would be pretty focused on graphics since it’s literally the only thing differentiating the hundreds (thousands?) of brands out there aside from the 8 or so woodshops they all use. These cut and paste CGI graphics or minimalist images over wood grain just feel empty.

The center graphic on a wood stain deck is overplayed but I like no one, Id probably pick up a deck for the collection.
Edit: nvm they’re $100 on the instagram shop. no one you’re a cool dude, but $100 is crazy steep for a deck. Maybe they’re priced differently on the Faces skate shop or whatever, but nothing is linked on their page and I kind of don’t care enough to dig any deeper.

BBS. this one is 8.38. Very much skateable if you decide to pull it off the wall.

All the boards come with a signed postcard from the artist and a free wall mount to hang it.

Appreciate the support. I agree on the center graphic stain ... but it was the only way to make this piece work because it couldnt be stretched. I messed with some other versions but this was the best way. I also wanted it to sorta seem like it was a framed piece of art hanging on a wall. But i didn't want to add stuff that takes away from the artist's work. These are all collabs and I work pretty closely with the artists on them all.

The next board is fucking insane. Completely different.

I like that darker wood stained brown, don't see that shade everyday on a board.

I'm interested to see the next graphic

what sucks is that i truly loved the wood grain background with a simplistic graphic in the middle prior to every single brand following suit. now everything looks the same. i know it would be almost impossible to ever outdo those iconic 80s/90s graphics, much less even come close to matching their impact… but come on people let’s take some risks here. even in the early 2000s, some of the decks that seemed kinda silly at the time (for instance the white stained girl decks with each riders head photoshopped onto the head of the girl logo) are semi iconic now, or froston flakes or just goofy fun stuff like that that we all wish we had now. nothing coming out these days pops even close to that much to at least, it’s all the same bullshit. wood stain background with some flowers or someone’s abstract art that nobody cares about in the middle. boring.

have you ever looked at a passport catalog? not trying to sound like a smartass at all, just go google ‘passport deck’ and you’ll see that is most of their boards.
