IT'S DAY 8 OF THE DEVIL STREET DECKS 2011 CATALOG ROLLOUT!!
Today we'd like to introduce you to 5 new decks by Christopher Love.
We consider it a real privilege to have the opportunity to showcase work by this artist originally hailing from Maryland but now residing in Boston, Massachusetts.
As another artist recently offered:
"Christopher's decks defy notions of what might traditionally be deemed 'skateboard art' and the medium is richer for it."
Absolutely.
They also look pretty ill when you're pulling off a switchfoot pogo.
Check out all of his decks in the menu to the right.

IT'S DAY 7 OF THE DEVIL STREET DECKS 2011 CATALOG ROLLOUT!!
Today, to say "we're rather excited" is an understatement, as we FINALLY get to unveil 5 new decks from the obscenely talented Australian designer Claire Warrick...
We're not sure exactly what's in the waters of Byron Bay, Australia that make Claire's designs so special, but her decks have been so hotly anticipated that we've already been taking orders BEFORE THEY'VE GONE ON SALE.
As we said: insanity!
Check 'em all out in her artist's menu to the right- they're already flying out the door as we speak...

While some might be tired, we keep rolling on...

(speaking of abstract expressionism, don't tell anyone but we once got booted from the Tate Modern for trying to skate in the Turbine Hall so rest assured, we've definitely got our high art sensibilities in check...)
