An assortment of drinking glasses with skateboard imagery, two from restaurants and one from a food product. From Australia to the USA, from 1977 to 2002.
This is a panel that originally appeared in the Adventure Time comic issue 15, released in April of 2013. I found it in volume 4 of the omnibus edition. To my knowledge, Skateboard Princess has only appeared in this single panel of the comic book series and has yet to make an appearance in the […]

Chris Chappell out of Louisville, KY put together a collection of glass skateboard deck reproductions based on his fondest memories of skateboarding in the 80’s for an art show called Glassics. Although they have the same concave and shapes as the originals, they are purely meant to be wall hangers. The decks themselves are typically […]
Tony Alva talks about what it means to be a renegade both in youth and as a middle aged adult.
