Contest Spectacular


Remember last year when we did a limited Proskates/Monark Skateboards deck?? Yeah we did, they were awesome, but they gone now. We need more...the only problem is that we don't have a clue what to do with the graphic. This is where you come in. I have posted a link to download a .zip file with all the necessary logos and the template to design the deck.

You MUST COMPLETE THIS ASSIGNMENT USING ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR...no Photoshop. No rules as to what must be on the graphic, only that if it sucks its not going to win.

Prizes you ask? How about some of the decks that you designed and some other Pro and Monark goods.

Deadline? Ahhhh lets say May 1st, You have 1 month.

May the most creative person win.

Here are the logos

You can email us a .JPEG for a preview, but your final entry has to be an Illustrator file.

email: proskates@gmail.com

Good Luck!

Artwork by HANLON!

Looted?

Some smart person visited the shop last night and decided to take the route through the tempered glass front door. He didn't get shit all but a slew of charges and a busted hand. Sucks to be him. Let that be a lesson. Hes lucky the Teeth Beneath is on sabbatical.

New Flicks.

Just an update. We do have the new Home Grown vid, and we have the Final Flare as well. Bored? can't skate? Come get both and stay inside.
