The 7 Skate Deck Totem from Pale Horse brilliantly captures a unique set of tribal figures. If you’re into art, skateboarding or enlightened themes, you’ll really love this series.
The totem pole installation was created for the Splinters & Papercuts exhibit hosted at the Pale Horse studio space. Pale Horse is the design studio illustrator and captured seven skate deck totems in a sequential connected art series. The series consists of Indians, owls and gurus and is designed with vibrant colors and much detail. Instead of having each figure placed separately on the skateboards, Pale Horse decided to have the designs overrun one another in a vertical sequence.
Pale Horse’s detached skate art with various totems can add a tribal artistic spirit to the skater experience.
