Item: T-19 x fragmentdesign skateboard (Blue)
Description: I used to be very against the idea of owning a skateboard and not using it as such.  The whole Supreme skateboard collecting phenomenon has been around for a while ever since the Last Supper skate decks were released back in the early millenium.  I've since come to the realization that perhaps it is a method of obtaining art.  Most recently Supreme has come together with known artists from around the world to produced "art" pieces on their signature skatedecks.  I've come to obtain this one produced by T-19, a skate/biking group out of Tokyo Japan.  The deck is designed by no other than modern fashion design group fragmentdesign, headed by the godfather of Japanese fashion himself Hiroshi Fujiwara.  Sure he's not an artist in literal terms, but isn't he in his own right no different from an artist of whom uses canvas and paint?
