For it’s first project of 2009, Mekanism has sought out American artist Josh Smith on this skate deck art project.

“For this project, Josh Smith decided to work on 200 skateboards. He started painting the bottom of all the boards with oil. Without any established composition or distinct guideline, Smith painted very spontaneously and with a great freedom the 200 pieces, as if, his only goal was to over them with oil.”

For more info, you can contact Mekanism at info@mekanismskateboards.com.
