Looking at newer skate catalogs it seems like most companies have gotten really lazy with skate graphics on boards and shirts these days. Most of them are just slapped on variations of their logo now.
I guess they mostly just hire graphic designers with computer skills rather than artists who can really draw now.
Looking back I love how creative the designs were growing up as a kid.

My first board. I thought I was going to faint when I got it for Christmas. I was in 4th grade, maybe 1988. I went to a private Lutheran school at the time and we got to bring in something that we got for Christmas. I brought in that damn skateboard with what they probably thought was a satanic dragon.

I think nowadays, as a young skater, I wouldn't want to roam around as if I was a metal rock head skater. However, great to see some of the vintage nostalgia of the Powell days.

Back in my day, graphics lasted for years. It was shocking when someone released a new graphic. Nowadays it seems like the cycle is weeks.

I like the simple style of enjoy and toy machine graphics. Those toy machine designs have been around for years too.
Does anyone know if DH Pendleton still designs for Alien Workshop?
