Board to LIVE - Skate Board Art Show - Benefit for the March of Dimes.ÂÂ
During the month of June 2009 I worked with legendary local Tattoo Artist:ÂÂ
RULER to curate a Skate Board Art Show. The
blank skate decks were donatedÂÂ
by 9 Lives Skate Shop. More than 30 Artists
created Skate Board Art using aÂÂ
variety of methods.ÂÂ
Including meeeee, I used LEGO:ÂÂ
 ÂÂ
I started with a blank deck and I began using 3L Technic Pins to attach aÂÂ
layer of plates to the board via the bolt holes for the skate trucks.ÂÂ
At first I was going to glue the plates to the board, but that would haveÂÂ
been so permanent, then I found the measurements between the mounting
pointsÂÂ
lined up with plate distances. So I was able to do with out glue
and justÂÂ
used technic pins and plates.ÂÂ
At first I used parts that I didn’t mind giving away, so the design wasÂÂ
admittedly a little limited.ÂÂ
The show was a success, I helped book bands and Hip-Hop acts, plus I
installed all 38 Skate Boards.ÂÂ
Everyone did great!ÂÂ
Enjoy!ÂÂ

As a skateboarder myself, I have to say that this is (insert expletive here)
awesome! Great work on this board Eric. Skateboard art has always been
interesting to me and I almost feel like half my addiction to various ‘board
sports’ was due to the amazing artwork that always found its way onto the bottom
of boards. As a kid I even had the delusion I might someday create artwork
worthy of the bottom of a board. You may have inspired me to at least give some
thought to ‘LEGO-ing’ up the blank deck I have at home. :-) You have certainly
created something amazing here that crosses genres and social circles and
showcases LEGO to a whole new group of people. Way to go!
Stay fresh my friend...stay fresh...
