What other skate companies are you a fan of at the moment in terms of their
artwork?
I like CREATURE but I also like a lot the artworks from BLACK LABEL, DEATHWISH,
ROCKWELL...and also POLA which is very creative. Also other compagnies I'm
working for even if they are less known that these big famous brands.
What trends have you seen emerging in the skateboarding industry's hard
goods market within the last year?
To tell the truth I haven't seen anything new this year. Nothing groundbreaking....
What do you think about those that use layers of technical fabrics (fiberglass,
carbon, carbon / aramid and texalium, carbon-kevlar , Reinforced Titanium and
others...)
To be honest I think this is just marketing and communication tool for most of
that but no real technical interest. Just one thing seems to bring something new
regarding the board longevity and hardnest is the Epoxy glue construction.
That's why ArtPrint has started this early 2014 to offer Epoxy glue boards in our
catalogue. So we have now more than 25 different shapes and sizes available
to answer all the needs. Pretty easy for everyone to find in our catalogue what
they look for! ArtPrint could also make special custom shapes (from 100 boards)
if you need something really special.
