In this episode I’m reviewing the 2024 documentary “Sk8face,” and if you’re into old school skateboarding (or you’ve ever stared at a deck wall like it’s an art gallery), this one’s a fun ride. The whole focus is skateboard graphics—where they started, how they evolved, and why certain eras and artists hit so hard. I’m looking at it through the lens of a lifelong skater: graphics aren’t just decoration, they’re culture, identity, and sometimes straight-up controversy stamped on seven plies. I also point you toward a few books that pair perfectly with this topic, because if you really want to go down the rabbit hole, printed skate history is still undefeated. The “Disposable” books are basically essential if you care about the timeline and the stories behind the art, and “Agents Provocateurs” is great for the more subversive side of graphics. And of course, if you’re a Jim Phillips fan, there’s a reason his work keeps coming up—those images helped define what skate art looks like to this day. Bottom line: watch the doc, then tell me what your favorite graphics are—because everybody’s got that one deck that lives rent-free in their head.
