Economical Skull & Sword

Feb 11, 2017Skull Skates

Probably one of the coolest and most obsessed pieces to come by PD's Hot Shop in Vancouver. At first glance, yeah, it's a later Skull & Sword 80s pig shape... but then you look closer and it's actually a Skull & Sword recreated from scratch. After some CSI, the deck seems to be old white Ganida[?], painted black and then METICULOUSLY painted with the reproduction S&S image. Extras features include the top of the deck including the large oval Powell Peralta Dragon sticker and a PD's Hot Shop 'Custom Built' sticker. It's one of those things; is this deck actually cooler than having an original? The amount of work and obsession says so.

Photo below is the deck next to a new Ray 'Bones' Rodriguez Snub Nose Brite-Lite reissue for reference.
