What we've been up to in the Back & Forth studio over the past month...
Paris 2024 Olympic Boards
Designed by Jake Williams (@jkwilliams_), we recently hand-screened these awesome seven-colour graphics on eco-friendly HLC decks in anticipation of skateboarding's second-ever Olympic Games. These boards were featured in an advertisement on TikTok for the games. Check it out below!
D*Face Deck No.2 - Cry Baby
We hand screen-printed the second instalment in a five-part series of legendary street artist D*Face’s (@dface_official) decks. Each board features a vibrant five-colour screen-printing process, with single-colour silkscreen prints and assorted coloured stains on the tops. This limited run of 150 boards is individually hand-numbered by D*Face himself. They sold out almost immediately, but you can check out more of his work below.
Anthony Burrill YES!NO!YES!NO! Deck
YES is the opposite of NO, and NO is the opposite of YES. We hand-screened a limited run of these striking black ink on natural wood grain contrast decks for artist Anthony Burrill (@anthonyburrill). Check out more of the project below.
Oil and Watercolour Painting Decks
We had the honour of printing a series of commemorative skateboards for Liam Reeves (@8inchdeck), featuring digitised versions of his mother’s oil and watercolour paintings. All profits from the sale of these boards will be donated to Marymount Hospice in Cork, where his mother spent her last days. For more details or to donate, please reach out to Liam on Instagram @8inchdeck or follow the link below.
Waves UFO Boards
With art by Rich Tayler (@rich_tayler_), we screen-printed these cool UFO shop boards and eco-friendly, plastic-free T-shirts for Waves Skate Shop in Poole (@wavespoole). Check out their page below and grab yours in-store now!
