Scott Foss Minimal Skateboards I Deck Graphic

I was honored to draw this Minimal Skateboards deck graphic for one of my oldest skate partners. Scott Foss is a legendary ripper that adorned the pages of Skateboarder Magazine back in the late 70’s, he was also one of the original members of the Bones Brigade and Independent Trucks Team. Scott came to me with the idea of using the Balkenkreuz “Bar Cross” that was used for the German Luftwaffe during WWII. I had the idea to turn the cross into pool tiles and coping, I used the original Illustration that Kevin Thatcher drew for Thrasher Magazine’s first cover for reference. Kevin showed me this original drawing years before Thrasher was even a concept and I always loved the way he had the rebar sticking out of the broken tiles. The design came out really good, all parties were completely stoked.
