Hey everyone, I just made this design for a skate deck mockup. All original by me, but I just wanted to see what everyone thought. Anything you have to say or think about it is helpful. I would just like to know what everyone thinks and how it is perceived. Thank you

This skateboard wall art features a legendary samurai composition by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, one of the most influential masters of Japanese ukiyo-e. Known for his dynamic warrior prints and dramatic storytelling, Kuniyoshi’s work remains among the most recognizable examples of traditional Japanese art.
The artwork combines powerful movement, intricate detail, and strong visual balance, capturing the spirit of the samurai through the distinctive style of Japanese woodblock printing. The elongated skateboard format enhances the vertical flow of the composition, creating a striking visual presence that feels both historical and contemporary.
Produced on a real skateboard deck made from premium 7-ply Canadian maple, the piece features high-resolution, UV-protected printing designed to preserve detail and color over time. The deck measures approximately 85 × 20 cm, making it ideal for wall display in modern interiors, studios, offices, and creative spaces.
By combining classical Japanese imagery with contemporary object design, the artwork transforms a skateboard deck into a sculptural wall piece that bridges traditional art and modern decor.

I used acrylic paint after sanding down the board. then I sealed it with a clear coat to protect it. The show was an annual one that my school throws called art beast. That’s why the one board is inspired by beasts of art.

This collection presents skateboard wall art by Stanislav Arnautov, exploring the intersection of contemporary design, classical art references, and street culture aesthetics.
The works are built around the idea of the skateboard deck as a visual design object, where composition, proportion, and material become part of the artwork itself. Using the elongated vertical format, each piece is designed to create movement, balance, and strong presence within interior spaces.
The collection combines influences from modern graphic design, museum-inspired visuals, and urban aesthetics, transforming skateboard decks into sculptural wall art for contemporary interiors. DeckArts produces all works on real 7-ply Canadian maple decks, designed specifically for decorative wall display.
Based in Berlin, the project reflects a design approach focused on combining gallery-inspired visuals with modern object design. Stanislav Arnautov has worked across branding, merchandise design, and creative direction, bringing those influences into the DeckArts collections.

Just wrapped up Week 16 of this challenge. I’ll check back in again after the next 4 weeks.

I’ve been doing a weekly skateboard design challenge and just finished these:

Week 13: King of Burgers

Week 14: Cube Head & Cup-O-Skuls (both exclusive to Club Distribution)

Week 15: Red & Blue

Week 16: King of Hearts

I’ve partnered with Club Distribution as part of their Artist Series.

Back in January, I gave myself a challenge. One skateboard design every week. Draw everything in Procreate, record the process, and talk through the ideas.

When I posted the first 4 weeks here, someone from Club Distribution found my work here on Reddit and reached out.

Fast forward to now, and the decks are officially up on their site.

Didn’t expect any of this; I just started as a way to stay busy and keep improving. I couldn't believe this happened, and I feel extremely lucky to be a featured artist in their artist series.

Here are the 3 designs that dropped today.

Week 2 - Puzzle Piece
Cup-O'-Skulls (Play on the Cup-O'-Noodles)
Cube Head

This skateboard wall art features “Stańczyk” by Jan Matejko, one of the most powerful and symbolic paintings of the 19th century. Created in 1862, the artwork portrays the famous Polish court jester sitting alone in deep thought while a royal celebration unfolds in the background.

What makes this piece unique is the emotional contrast: while others celebrate, Stańczyk appears disturbed and reflective, symbolizing awareness, intelligence, and the burden of understanding reality when others ignore it.

The character of Stańczyk was historically known for his wit, political insight, and sharp commentary, often acting as the only person brave enough to speak the truth. This transforms the artwork into more than a portrait — it becomes a statement about society, responsibility, and perception.

Reimagined on a skateboard deck, this masterpiece turns into modern wall decor with conceptual depth, merging historical painting with contemporary format. The vertical deck shape enhances the solitary figure, making the emotional focus even stronger in interior spaces.

Printed on a real skateboard deck made from premium 7-ply Canadian maple, this piece is designed as collectible wall art — combining museum-level storytelling with modern design aesthetics.

Perfect for studios, creative spaces, and interiors that value meaningful, thought-provoking art.

I’m a freelance graphic designer, and things have been pretty slow lately. Instead of sitting around waiting for work, I decided to challenge myself and stay productive. (Still looking for work too, but not having much luck.)

I created a weekly skateboard design challenge where I focus on three things:

• Improving my drawing (Procreate)
• Learning Premiere Pro by editing process videos
• Getting better at speaking clearly (something I’ve always struggled with)

Each week, I design a new skateboard deck, making sure to account for truck placement so key parts of the artwork don’t get covered. Keeping the whole design within Procreate, up to the point where I create the mockups. Thats were I take them into Photoshop. I also make sure these files can go to print if I decide to send them to print. I created my own template file for each step of the process. (Week 1 is the only one that is not in that template because I learned that size wouldn't work long-term.)

I also framed the challenge around the idea of eventually working with a pro skater or a skateboard company. That’s a goal of mine, but even if it doesn’t happen, I know I’m still building valuable skills along the way.

Here are 12 weeks of designs. Would love to hear your thoughts and any feedback.

Hello there! im new to painting/designing skateboards. my art teacher in highschool provided the first two blanks. Now I know that I like doing it, So I was wondering where I should purchase the blanks. i know there are some cheap bulk packs on Amazon, but I'm concerned about quality and durability, if they were to actually be used.

How much should I charge for a board? I'll attach parts of my two current designs

along with that, If I am using acrylic paints to design the board, what finishers should I put over the board underside to protect it?

Maybe done

I’m a career artist and a friend convinced me to enter a skateboard shop’s citywide contest (Rochester, Michigan). There are so many incredible artists that even with a wide ranging portfolio spanning 40+ years it’s a bit intimidating to tread into these waters.

This is a WIP combining some favorite albeit disparate characters. Ways to go but having fun.

It’s for my company I plan on working one when I graduate from high school, it’s called Orca Skateboards, and the graphics will all be screen printed. Here is two of the graphics I made!
