We have already posted some skateboard deck designs, and we also gave away a really cool book about last year, the Inspiration from Skateboard Graphics - Book Giveaway, however, it has been quite a long time since that post and that's why we decided to show a collection of great skate designs.

Last week I decided to spend some time playing with Illustrator and trying to come up with a cool black and white artwork. My inspiration came from some skateboard deck designs which have this sort of 3D effect without using gradients or anything, and not exactly a woodcut effect either. After a few hours I was able to come up with a really nice design, but the most important thing, the whole process was an excellent way to improve my Illustrator techniques.
