Sk8poser

I don't skate — but I design skateboard decks. SK8POSER is a collection of themed deck designs.

Skate or die!

I've always been interested in skateboard deck artwork. Not only does it serve as a personal expression for a skater, it's unique shape, two sides and canvas in motion allow for big, dynamic statements.

I've created a library of deck designs and some are shown here. Additionally, I've led a skateboard deck design project as a guest speaker at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).
