I was just at the MoMA Store on Spring Street and I was able to get a good look at this fantastic book called New Skateboard Graphics
The book is bound with a hardcover and features full-page color graphics that really speak to the incredible designs coming out of the skating community since the 1980’s. Well-known skateboard companies such as Chocolate, Element, Enjoi, Heroin, Hessenmob, $lave, Toy Machine, and many others are represented in this seemingly all-encompassing collection of graphics. I’ve always said that when I grow up I’d love to collect skateboard decks and this is the exact reason why. Skateboard decks are often overlooked for their amazing artwork and this book does excellent justice to bring those designers, artists, and skaters to light.

UPDATE: New Skateboard Graphics actually has a website with a lot more images and information, so check it out and pick up the book!
Hey, just came across this site for the first time, nice. This is Namdev Hardisty, “New Skateboard Graphics” author. Thanks for posting up images of the book and the kind words.
