DIY Deck Show

The Drive Agency Gallery is hosting the DIY Deck Show from August 3 to September 21. Featuring over 160 skateboard decks all designed by independent artist, including locals Peat Wollaeger and Matthew Maddox, the show reemphasizes how Skateboarding is perhaps the only sport about self-expression and artistry, from the design on the deck to the way the skater rides it.

Like the Star Clipper St. Louis Munny Show, the DIY Deck Show allows local artists to take a standard replicated object and transform it into something entirely their own. So even though this dose not have anything to do with comics or even a Star Clipper event, as the purveyors of cool in St. Louis I thought we would help spread the word. Our expansive art book section has plenty of collection that features Skate Deck style artwork, so if you're looking for some inspiration we've also got it covered.

The Drive Agency Gallery is opened Monday through Saturday and is located at 1617 Locust Street in St. Louis, MO.
