Rip the Ripper Art Show.
Sorry for lagging on this post…but better late than never. The main reason I went to ASR was to check out the Rip The Ripper Art Show. I figured it would be pretty sick, but it was more than I expected. Took my little point and shoot camera and fired off some quick shots. I didn’t even take pics of everything and my pictures don’t do them justice. SkateOne will be releasing a book containing every piece in the near future. Sorry I didn’t get every artist’s name…

Love these Ripper decks and what Powell did to bring all these artists together to honor this iconic graphic for the skate industry.
I have about 150 ripper decks now myself. About 1/3 are older originals, 1/3 are reissues or hand painted custom ones and 1/3 are spoof decks made by other companies to give a nod to this cool skate image. Check them out here: http://s1014.photobucket.com/albums/af261/GatorALLin/
