We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on November 14, 2012.

Photo-main

I'm making a skateboard deck with my artwork on it. I hope the message will inspire others to keep on going!

The Project

Earlier this year, I painted this image on my broken skateboard deck. It's a message to myself, and to anyone else who wants to grab it: "You're Not  Too Old!" It's not too late to dream and to do the things that you really want to do. Go for it!

Now I want to put this painting onto new skateboard decks. If I reach my funding goal, I will be able to get the decks manufactured. The more money I raise with this project, the more boards I will make!

The Board

And you can get one of your own! It will be a pro-quality maple deck, made in the USA.

If you're excited about my painting, but you don't want a skateboard, you can still get . . .

The Print

This image of my painting will be printed on archival paper, measuring 30.5" x 9.5" (about the same size as the board), including a .75" white border.

Either way, you'll be helping me get the boards made! And you'll get a piece of my artwork that I hope you'll find inspiring.

OK, but what does your wife think about this project?

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks!

Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

As a graphic designer, I'll have no problem preparing my artwork for printing. The boards will be manufactured by pros who have been making skateboards for decades. They know what they are doing!

FAQ

  • That's the wooden part that you stand on—the "board" in "skateboard!" Artwork is printed on the bottom of the deck (because if you want to ride it, you'll put grip tape on the top). It does not come with wheels.
