THE SKATEROOM has released their latest collection of skateboard artworks, this time with iconic pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. The collection consists of three individual skateboards and a skateboard triptych each featuring a famous Lichtenstein comic-style painting.

The collection starts with Lichtenstein’s “Girl in Mirror” artwork from 1964 which features a beautiful blonde woman smiling into a handheld mirror. The skateboard magnifies the artwork by cropping it significantly for the vertical, slender format. A version of “The Drowning Girl” from 1963 on a set of three skateboards is next and features the full painting including the iconic phrase “I Don’t Care! I’d Rather Sink – Than Call Brad For Help!”

Another 1963 piece follows with “Varoom!” which depicts a comic book explosion to critique the glamorized depictions of war at the time. The final piece alters Lichtenstein’s 1964 “Happy Tears” painting for an extremely cropped depiction of the woman’s face showing only one eye and a sliver of the mouth. Though less is shown, the full impact of this painting is still felt, leaving the viewer to decipher if the woman is happy or sad.

No stranger to collaborations, THE SKATEROOM routinely uses the works of famous artists like Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Yoshitomo Nara on their skateboards. These collections cater to loyal fans of legendary artists and new art collectors inspired by the modern skateboard format.

THE SKATEROOM Roy Lichtenstein collection retails for $220 USD to $550 USD and is available to purchase on their website. You can view the collection above.
