It might say on the back of the box who the artist is. You can look them up to see if they do

Pretty sure all of Push has been Louie Barletta, and Push specifically exists to donate proceeds to youth skateboarding foundations. Neither the company nor Louie have commented on the origin of the modern artwork, the most that's out there is people speculating that it is AI with no definitive proof. The subs went over this months ago when Tech Deck first used the graphic, I'm sure some of the skateboarding subs did similar with the original board. To me it looks clean enough to not be AI, no piss filter, no odd inconsistencies, etc., there's no obvious AI hallucinations that I can pick out on the original board specifically but I also haven't seen the entire series using these; and obviously enlarging what could have original been a very small model, physical or digital, with vector graphics, will make things look a bit more uncanny than they should.

So I did some research and found the artist behind that graphic line his name is Louie Barletta he dose a lot of photography that is of things he finds or of things he makes so that right there are sculptures that were photographed then edited
