From auction wall to forever home 🛹🎨

We love seeing these incredible skate decks out in the wild — now beautifully displayed by their new owners after our Skate Deck Art auction. Huge shoutout to artists Sienna Anderson and Margarete De Araujo for creating such stunning pieces.

Seeing the decks become part of people’s spaces is exactly what this project was all about 💛

If you picked up a deck from the auction, send us pics of it on display — we’d love to feature more of your setups and see where the art has landed 👀✨
