Nick Thomm is an Australian artist who is based in New York City and uses vivid graphics and colors to create his distinct work. The holographic skateboards the artist recently designed are one such example of this.
Rather than featuring the chaotic patterns that most skateboards do, this particular skateboard features no patterns and a unique, iridescent holographic style. The skateboards themselves are made from Canadian maple and have a holographic finish that appears to change color where the light hits it. The glowing board's holographic design has a silver finish with pink, blue, yellow, purple and orange hues.
Nick Thomm's skateboard is designed as functional artwork that is likely to capture the interest of people interested in this sport.
