  • Bear VS Zombie
    A broken skateboard transformed
  • *the image below is the deck as I received it, and it was what I had to work with. It was broken, it smelled, and it had these stickers that were so difficult to remove. The image on the right, is what I came up with, after a month and half of hard labor (actually, on and off work, depending on how lazy I was that day.)


    Bear VS Zombie was especially made for "A Skateboard Dexhibition" by FN Designs

  • 30 artists from around the UAE were selected for FAKiE 2012. This show comes with a certain twist, as the artists were given used, worn-out and broken boards to work with.
    Also coinciding with the event was the launch of Skate Biladi - a skateboarding workshop. The skateboarding ramp is shaped in Arabic script which reads as "Tashkeel". This is one of the most unique ramp builds in the history of ramp building (that I know of)
