So, a few months ago there was an art show at the Bricks in Ybor. The theme was 'Not Playing with a Full Deck' and consisted of art on used or broken skateboards. The show was fun and I liked my piece enough. It didn't sell (not surprising since I foolishly overpriced it) so it has hung on my wall ever since.
The other day I was leaning back and kind of looking at that deck and I wondered, "could I give that deck another life on the road?" It had enough usable wood left, only the very ends were thrashed. So, I took it down, laid out a template surfboard style and started and finished this newest project.
And ReSkates is born.
So here's the plan. Collect decks left at the Skatepark and any that have enough meat on them will be re-shaped and given new art and re-sold. ReSkates(name pending approval).
