Make Your Own Cool.

This is by far my favorite event that I get to be involved in each year, designing a one of a kind skateboard for the Board Rescue Fundraiser. 

This year I decided to do a chalkboard skateboard  titled "Make Your Own Cool".  All the art was done by me with cahlk on a painted chalkboard surface and then sealed so it won't rub off. The chalk itself is nestled in an empty bullet casing and secured to a chain I pieced together using various sizes & types of chain links in gold & silver, and of course there is a little gold skull dangling from the chain. Top of deck has my signature and "Board Rescue 2013".

In case you're not familiar with this rad event, Board Rescue (a non-profit 501c) invites a select group of pro skaters & artists to design a skateboard which is then auctioned off to raise money to help get kids in underprivileged areas skateboards and gear.

The boards will be showcased on November  2,  2013 at the Santa Cruz Boardroom and later auctioned off on ebay to the highest bidder. Click over to Board Rescue to get all the details on the party and auction.
