MySpace a place for friends

Since 1987, XXX Skateboards I run a small skateboard company, by myself and design, ink, cut films, pull a squeegee along with pressing, cutting, shaping, sanding, drilling and airbrushing and or printing my own work. When things go right, I get to make more, when things don't go right I got to fix the problem. There's no point-n-click solution. Everything I make is from the ground up, ink on crescent board, hand cut separations to airbrushing and creating custom stains, paints and inks from pigment from raw pigments XXX is my main focus, and has been for 25 years or more. XXX is a single owner company, that makes only limited edition skateboards and at reasonable prices. My boards each take between 1-2 days to complete. My work is influenced by Raymond Pettibone, Charles Burns, actually it isn't but people say my stuff is like it so why not. I do my own thing and only answer to the buyers of my items, which most are like family and friends. XXX is about integrity through art. If it wasn't anything but that, it would be available at Walmart or thrown behind some shitty cause. You got to stand for something or your fall for anything. If XXX skateboards are to be mass made, they'd be at a production level that would exceed most other companies. Quality means a lot with me, my craft means a lot. It wasn't store bought and I'm self taught and apprenticed under a dying tradition. The XXX and XXX Ltd. boards are sold exclusively through it's website or check out SNB for sale section. triplexskateboards.com xxx on flickr.com Black Series 01, 6 silkscreened posters on 100 lb Strathmore bond with museum quality archival inks available in mid April.
