ABOUT THE ART

Throughout the years, Shepard Fairey has designed many skateboards. Being a skater himself, he has always had a connection to the activity. Shepard started skating in 1984 when professional skateboarders were really popular and has said he really looked up to them, not just for their skating abilities, but for their culture and music alike. Skateboarding is what introduced him to punk rock, which, in turn, is what sparked Shepard's thinking on a more political level.

In 1987, Shepard was riding a board with a Natas Kaupas graphic on it. It was on this board that he first learned to boardslide rails; because of this, the board really stuck with him, and in 2004 Shepard did a reinterpretation of this graphic.

Now that Shepard Fairey has made quite a name for himself in the art world and designs board graphics of his own, he feels as though his involvement in skateboarding has come full-circle.

In 2005, Shepard worked with Plan B to design a board and print of each of their team members.
