British illustrator Jon Horner has laced out a series of Cliché skateboard decks, the theme of which applies Horner’s well known “Where’s Waldo” treatment to stars in skating culture. Pros like Joey Brezinski, JB Gillet and Sammy Winter hide cleverly in the graphics for the French decks, challenging you to find (and guess) all the possible characters. Boards measure in […]

Mark Flood of Peres Projects has joined forces with Supreme NYC for a line of skateboard decks that carry the subversive, slightly macabre, visible edge of wit for which the Houston artist is known.
