Andy Warhol probably couldn’t skateboard, and René Magritte died well before the sport became popular but their artworks sure look good on the bottom of a deck.
You can check them out via The Skateroom, a Brussels-based “social enterprise” that partners with artists and estates to offer custom boards bearing their work. Other artists who have adapted their designs to a deck include Walead Beshty, JR, Albert Oehlen, and Judy Chicago.
The boards range in price from roughly $165 to $850, and the proceeds go to a good cause: the company donates 25 percent of the profit from every sale or five percent of the turnover whichever number is greater to social skating projects for at-risk youth and other nonprofits.
