Shove-it

A while back I was asked to participate on a very special project: Shove-it.

Note te self: I love that papertoys take me to different places!

Papertoy artist {bay} {kid} {dead} asked me join a elite team of 30+ artists to design a skateboard deck and customize his papertoy Spyro.
Besides that it is awesome to do that, it will be used to raise funds to build a free outdoor skatepark in Des Moines, Iowa.

SHOVE IT!
An exhibition like no other. A year in the making, SHOVE IT! will feature the custom designs of over 30 artists presented on skateboard decks and paper toys. Our artist roster features talents from 12 countries, spanning five continents!

SHOVE IT! will be hosted by Thee Eye Gallery and will open June 7, 2013. But here’s your chance to grab hold of a deck and paper toy right now by supporting their Kickstarter campaign.

You can see the (30+) list of amazing artist on the kickstarter page, but Garrison Beau Scott posted the list also on his blog with links to there sites. I was impressed by the skills from my fellow artists.

So go check that out, by decks.. or two… or three. It impossible NOT to find a board that you like.
