Skateboards4Trees

My friend/artist extraodinaire, Josh Liu, has started this awesome campaign, Skateboards4Trees:

I’m really excited to show you all this!

Each of these boards was originally a blank deck. They were colored with spray paint and the designs were all drawn by hand. A layer of polyurethane gloss was applied over each finished piece. The decks themselves are made of Canadian maple and pretty good for skating but I wish they’ll remain nice; hanging on your wall.

Here’s the really cool part. It’s for a good cause:
For each board, I’ll donate 10 trees to a local park.

or

I’ll donate $10 to save 2,500 square feet of rainforest (http://www.arborday.org/shopping/donations/orderrfr.cfm)

your choice.

and you can fund my summer abroad..

Feel free to show this to any friends who might be interested but he/she better be coool.

Thanks and Enjoy.

The one in the middle is off the market already (bought by me!) but as of the writing of this post, the other two are still available. This is your one chance to get an awesome, hand-made, one-of-a-kind deck from an amazing artist. Oh yeah, he’s a pretty cool guy too. Plus, you’ll be helping the environment too! If you’re interested in one of these decks, email him at decks.by.jwar[at]gmail[dot]com. Act fast, becuase these babies aren’t going to last long!
