Zevs x Mekanism Skatedecks

Mekanism, the Paris based skate and design brand, has released it’s second collaboration of 2006. Together with French artist Zevs, they have released a skatedeck called “graffiti illumination” which was based on a photograph taken in London. These decks are limited to 100 pieces each numbered and are now available at www.jrqjd.com. Here’s some information on Zevs via Mekanism. After many years of activism, Zevs is considered by many as a Parisian legend of graffiti. Beyond simply writing his name in the heart of the city, he made his mean of expression evolving into a poetic and committed representation and therefore is regarded nowadays as a contemporary artist whose work is shown in galleries.
