About the service
I'm a freelance illustrator who transforms ordinary skateboard decks into bespoke works of art. The image is applied not with a sticker or vinyl film, but entirely by hand using acrylic paints and markers directly on the wood — this makes the image part of the deck itself, not just decoration on top of it.
I work in any style that fits your idea: a realistic portrait — of you, a friend, a pet, or your favorite musician; vibrant street-art-inspired graphics with lettering and characters; or a free-form abstract composition based on color, texture, and movement. Before I start painting, we discuss references, the color palette, and image placement; then I send you a digital sketch for approval — any changes are made before paint touches the deck.
The process consists of several stages: the deck surface is cleaned and lightly prepared, the image is sketched in pencil, then developed in layers of acrylic paint with detailed work done by brush and markers. After it fully dries, I apply several coats of durable protective varnish that resists chipping, scratches, and moisture — you can keep riding the deck or hang it on a wall as an art object.
This service is perfect for skaters who want a truly unique one-of-a-kind deck, those looking for a memorable personal gift, brands seeking custom promotional merchandise, and collectors passionate about skate culture and street art. You can bring your own blank or I'll source a quality maple deck myself.
What's included in your order: a concept sketch for approval, the finished hand-painted deck, protective varnish coating, and photos of every stage of the work so you can see your idea come to life. I stay in touch at each step and make reasonable adjustments to the sketch before painting begins. Send me your idea, references, and desired deck size — we'll create a deck that's truly one of a kind.
