Let me introduce to you David Flores. Alot of you are probably familiar with him through his “stained-glass look” designs from toys to skateboards to everything in between (i.e. sunglasses, shoe, snowboards, etc.). This past week the Skate All Cities Krew had the pleasure to visit his art studio/loft to go over a couple of details for our collaboration board release party. The topic of discussion was, “Where are we going to have it?” We’re not going to spoil the surprise, but if everything falls into place this is going to be one of Skate All Cities hugest events for 2010, so cross your fingers and stay tuned as we head into 2010 with new beginnings.
“DF”
I’m not sure if you know the history behind David, but aside from producing vinyl toys he’s been producing skateboard graphics since day one. Here are just a few of his designs that some of you might be familiar with.
I’m sure that all of you know the Shorty’s Muska board over towards the left. Simple design with a signature trademark to include in skateboarding history. Even the non-skaters that read this blog have probably seen it before.
You can add P-Rod to his list of skateboard pros that he has done boards for.
Paul Rodriguez – Plan B
I bet that you didn’t know that those Spitfire Wheels that you were/are riding were designed by this guy. Here’s just a small sample from his backpack just to flex the skills.
Kid Robot
Did I mention that he also did Ryan Gallant’s DC shoe. No Big Deal.
Watch collaborations anyone?
