ABOUT ICONIC DECKS
ICONIC DECKS was created with the intention of bringing a new level of artistry to the world of skate deck art.
In recent years, skate deck art has exploded, and continues to grow, with art lovers turning to this unique genre to adorn the walls of their homes and offices.
With bold colours and striking designs, the slim dimensions of these ICONIC timber canvasses can fit virtually anywhere, increasing the visual aesthetics of your favourite places.
ICONIC DECKS are produced in Australia on the Highest quality 8 inch maple timber decks to make ensure every deck is high strength and has great pop.
Alternatively, if you love the art but a skate deck isn't your preferred look, ICONIC DECKS also offer fine art prints, (also known as Giclee). They are indistinguishable reproductions of the origional art. Printed on 320 gsm acid free, archival stock with Lightfast Inks, which are fade resistant. So they will last a lifetime if looked after correctly.
Words from Brett.
People ask me all the time, "Why do you choose coloured pencils to do this?" Well, it's a very niche medium, and I like the challenge it presents. There are quite a few great artists out there who work with coloured pencils, but I don't really know of any who do it directly on a skate deck.
I enjoy the meticulous process of layering each colour onto the raw timber, utilizing its imperfect surface to achieve my goal.
All art mediums have their own limitations with subsequent results, and coloured pencils are no exception.
If I wanted a flawless finish, I'd choose airbrush, photoshop, or ai.
If I wanted to see brushstrokes, I'd choose paints, and so on.
Pencil scratches, visible grain patterns and random knots in the timber, all play a part in the end result. And that's the beauty of this medium. All these unique markings shine through, and are faithfully reproduced on the decks and prints. Allowing you to enjoy the art, exactly how it came out.
