Skateboard Griptape

“Eccentric and secret genius that he was, Bosch not only moved the heart, but scandalized it into full awareness. The sinister and monstrous things that he brought forth are the hidden creatures of our inward self-love: he externalizes the ugliness within, and so his misshapen demons have an effect beyond curiosity. We feel a hateful kinship with them.”

Imagine the first time you found skateboarding. The first time you were joined with that magical piece of wood and sheet of grip. Hand and nose (not truck in hand) you walked to the promised land: a parking lot. The streets would never look or be the same to you again. This sheet of griptape depicts the joining of Adam and Eve, which is no different and no less important than a skateboarder’s introduction to the board.
