BEAUTY

A one-of-a-kind ply wood skateboard deck.

Currently exhibited at ‘Decked’; the September 2025 exhibition presented by They Made this and Nobody’s Business tattoo studio.

What has been essentially been an elevated addition to my workbench for the last however long, is now available as a one-off piece of artwork.

Much is the case with all of my Work-Bench Off-Cuts, the board holds a history of all the paints I’ve used in the pieces of work I’ve made alongside (and evidence of quite a few of my coffee cups). It has been hand-finished with the word ‘Beauty’, painted with a high gloss black enamel paint.

Available first come first serve from the @theymadethistagram website

“Two of London’s top female – and queer – founded creative businesses are joining forces to present something a bit unexpected and reimagines what an art show can be. ‘Decked’ is a showcase of 30 skateboard decks transformed into original artworks by a collective of internationally acclaimed contemporary tattoo and graphic artists.

You might know their work —  but not like this.

This isn’t polite, white-walled gallery energy. Expect tequila, expect noise, expect chaos and complaints from the neighbours. A collision of art, ink, good vibes and skate culture.

Each deck is a one-of-a-kind unique art piece, hand-created and available to view and purchase for a limited time only.”
