A little known fact about ol' David Slade: I'm obsessed with vintage skateboard art. Early Powell-Peralta and Santa Cruz logos and decks are particularly up my alley. So, it is with nothing short of rapture that I came across this post on Boing Boing about an art show inspired by "The Ripper," an iconic design by Vernon Courtland, first used for Ray Rodriguez's signature Powell deck.
If I mention much more, I'm just going to be copying BB's post word for word, so here's a link to the post and here's a link to the exhibit's site.
Now all I have to do is wait for a similar project for the Natas Kaupas Panther.

Via my 8 year old cousin, I've been revisiting (read obsessing) on this as well. I had the white Natas deck back in the day and still long for it. BTW...showed the classic Streets Of Fire Natas scene to said 8 year old & he flipped. Quality transcends!
