Ron Cameron and I are super excited to finally kick things off with the skARTplanks series! Custom one-of-a-kind works of skate art inspired by the iconic Blockhead graphics and style from the 80’s and early 90’s.For the first release we stashed away 10 of the Hard Times decks from the (SOLD OUT) reissues released last year. Ron had the idea to add some original art to the nose and tail in a somewhat cleaner version of the 1989 Hard Times style. He started out with a paint brush, then some spray paint and then two colors of paint pens for this multi-layered radness.So there are only 10 of these and as you can see all very different from each other. They are obviously priced higher than an average Blockhead release but at a great introductory “Hard Times” price for original art by one of the most legendary skate artists of all time.Thanks for the support! Dave B.More details:Signed and numbered, only 10 madeBonus! Comes with 5x7 print of Ron painting your specific board (signed)...and one more.Limited to one per customerBuy one because you love them, no flippers please.
The Ben Davis monkey parody was the top graphic of Rick’s 1991 “NEW GRAPHICS” board. The original intentions were to use this as the bottom graphics on the next batch but Rick got swooped up before this could happen. So what we have here is a NBI (never been issued), the board that should have been but never was (but now is).It’s a great logo drawn by Ron Lemen that was forced to live it’s life belittled as simply a top graphic... until now, it will finally given the premium bottom board placement it deserves.Oh and here’s the story behind it...well let’s just start out by saying that this was the workwear era in skateboarding with many skaters buying (increasingly) oversized uniform pants and shirts at thrift stores and swap meets, it was all about Ben Davis, Dickies and Red Kap. But my ears are still ringing from the second part of the story....While on a cross country tour with the young guns (I believe Rick Howard, Omar Hassan, Steve Berra and Andy Brayman), we stopped on the side of the road at a fireworks stand. You can’t buy (exploding) firecrackers in California so we were thrilled to find them and stocked up. Well the boys couldn’t wait and firecrackers started exploding inside the tour van with increasing numbers and closeness to the driver (me). My fuse was getting shorter as I screamed out “if anyone lights off one more #%@&ing firecracker I’m going to.....”. Meanwhile Rick was sitting right behind me and was trying to blow out the firecracker he had just lit...on my headrest! It exploded in my ear and I swerved to the side of the road and slammed on the brakes. Before I could even get my seatbelt off all the guys were already out the door and scattering like hunted bunny rabbits across the flat field. I threw all their skateboards out of the van and drove away...stopping up the road a bit to cool down. Apologies were made and we headed east in silence apart from the ringing in my ears....and there you have it, that’s the story behind the firecracker on Rick’s board.An essential part of Blockhead and Rick Howard’s history, this board is limited to a maximum run of 120 (depending on pre-orders). These will be signed by Rick (if he is available but no guarantee) and hand numbered (boards are signed on top).Dave B.Details:Solid color stains (brown, blue, black, orange, natural)Tri-split stains (assorted, see photo compilation for possibilities).White dipArt by Ron LemenBottom: 3 color screen printed graphicsTop: Screenprint graphic and laser burn logoDimensions: 9.625 x 32”, 6.5” Tail, 6.625” Nose,14.25” WheelbaseSame shape as “NEW GRAPHICS” boardOld school hole pattern1991 era concaveConstruction: 7-ply mapleStained laminates, rails are natural (except white dip)Manufactured by Watson Laminates, San Diego CAOriginally planned release date 1992, Limited issue 2018
