Skateboards as art

We currently have two artist skateboards on display in the living room. One is a limited-edition glow-in-the-dark board designed by Dalek (one of about 150, I think), and the other is an autographed Neckface board (acquired during his 2007 visit to Brisbane).







Lately, I've been thinking that we could do with a couple more of them on the same wall – probably four in total. After all, skateboards can be two things for us: affordable art, and icons/relics of John's past. I’m sure John would particularly like some decks by Barry McGee, Mark Gonzales or Ed Templeton.

Here are a few that I wouldn't mind hanging on my walls:
