DECK THE WALLS July 26 2011
I’ve been trying to redecorate for a minute now. I’ve bought new artwork, but they haven’t been framed and put up. I’m waiting until I find one more piece that goes with a set that I’ve created (David Flores’ Max from Where the Wild Things Are, and Rich Pellegrino’s Marty McFly). But that’s the thing about purchasing art; you don’t force it, you just kind of connect with something and then boom. The same goes for buying skateboards. You see, I want to hang skateboards on the wall. I wouldn’t call myself a skater skater, but it was a huge part of my childhood and a therapeutic activity as an adult. I just can’t decide on another board I want up.
I have these: Girl x Hello Kitty and Diamond x Sade.
They have collected dust as I wait to be connected to that one deck. And then as I was surfing the internets last night, I saw this:
Santa Cruz, get out of here with that! I’ve watched Bart Simpson skate through Springfield for so many years. In fact, I would always pick Bart in The Simpsons game for the simple reason that he had a skateboard as a weapon. Therefore, you can imagine the nostalgia I feel with this release. Except that it doesn’t solve my redecorating problem. I would just ride it, especially since it’s a complete.
