Dutch artist Parra knows that we suck, so he has applied his iconic artwork to his new venture Tired Skateboards — a brand giving props to all you (us) aging skaters. To all the stubborn graybeards who end a session by putting down a half pack of cigarettes, or who prefer to think of a nosegrind as a Friday […]
