Product Description
Product Description
Skateboarding grew from a Southern California hobby born out of surfing to a nationwide trend, and has since developed into a visual style. While the bottoms of skateboards have always been adorned with graphics, back in the day only a handful of skateboard manufacturers existed. Today, vast amounts of visuals are created for skateboards, with more than 40 major brands in the market. Because of how the sport has grown, however, many of these graphics are used for only a season, and then are forgotten about – until now. From spreads of full-board designs to detailed crops of patterns and graphics, New Skateboard Graphics features the best, most innovative work going on today. Interviews with designers and creators of major brands help elucidate this colorful phenomenon.

Get Disposable + This Book
20 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover
The book Disposable: A History of Skateboard Art is of course mandatory reading for anyone who enjoys looking at classic skate graphics. This is also a good one to have to get a look at all the newer graphics happening right now. Well thought-out, very diverse, and no bias to certain brands. there's more than a dozen interviews with Jamie Thomas of Zero/Black Box distribution, Mark Nardelli of 5Boro, Kelly D. Williams, Winston Tseng of enjoi, Michael Sieben, Jahmal Williams, etc. It's pretty cheap i guess, so worth a buy. Certainly 4star worthy.

This is a fun book to flip thru. Like the other reviewer said, get this AND disposable, and you'll have enough skate art to nerd over for some time. 100%

Gnarly...do they say that still?
11 Feb 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great book demonstrating the artistic styles that have made skateboards not just a piece of sports equipment but also a canvas for the imaginative. Makes a great addition to a coffee table or an "office"... especially if you can skate at yours ;)#
