SkimBeam teamed with artists Adrian Knopik to create graffiti-inspired skim boards.
The collection of custom designs captures a wild 'n' free imagination- that ever present attitude that comes with summer. One board features a hot hipster chick, complete with black-rimmed glasses and zombified style. Another portrays a craze-eyed dude looming over a tentacled beast. Knopik's mixing of the grainy bamboo base of the boards with the retro-hues overwhelms viewers with a sunny nostalgia.
The SkimBeam line not only reflects the liberating youthfulness of summer, but also the artist's personal style. Adrian Knopik of Poland reflected his street lifestyle into the graphics. The customized skim boards were launched through Fuse Collection, a Polish graphic design from. Fuse The artwork was released to the public via Fuse's Behance Network profile.
The SkimBeam collection is a perfect way to slide into street-inspired style.
