Dalek has 9 new deck designs for ARTSPROJEKT: every single one of which has his signature Space Monkeys. Says Dalek: “The Space Monkeys are human representations for me. They are self-portraits in a lot of ways, and also portraits of humanity. They are floating in nothingness. I didn’t want it to be a cartoon strip, like a Space Monkey in a house, then a Space Monkey in a car, so I avoided all of that. I didn’t want to develop scenery like a house and trees. Once you put Space Monkeys in that kind of context it looses any kind of fine art quality to me.” Dalek’s newest print cost $60 For $79.95, you can get a Dalek Space Monkey design on hard-rock maple wood. The only question is which one to get? Check out all the boards at the dedicated Dalek section on Zazzle here.
ARTSPROJEKT, a new online “interactive and culturally relevant online community for the arts, pop culture and action sports” has teamed up with print-on-demand company Zazzle to make high-tech, high-art skate decks. Zazzle’s engineering team collaborated with Andy Howell to develop an authentic product that is produced within 24 hours–a first for the industry. The skate decks are seven-ply North American maple and supplied by PS Stix. Components are sourced from Santa Cruz, Independent trucks, Krux Trucks, and Ricta Wheel Dynamics. The end result is a highly technical, high quality, high art. Decks are available starting at $99.95 in all-terrain competition, mini, old school wide, and Cali 70’s flashback sizes and shapes. Complete skateboards go for around $210.
