Battered Vintage Sandpaper Surface Wooden Skate Deck with Druggie Cartoons

Regular price $80.00

Not my usual sort of thing, but I do try to be open to everything, and the hand-drawn cartoons on the face of this much battered skateboard deck struck me as contemporary versions of a antique folk art sandpaper drawings! And, like those naive 19th century drawings of landscapes and castles and sailboats on water, these drawings-- of personified bong and joint and bottle of pills--are very much of their time!  The reverse is really quite beautiful too, with some very Richter-esque painterly passages to either side of the silver zig zag running down the center.

29 3/8" x 8 1/4". Battered, with sandpaper peeling/curling at the ends as evident, but all sound and stable and the revealing of the green paint underneath seems just right to me.
