Venice, CA – Sept. 2, 2009 – The Arbor Collective is proud to announce the release of two new skateboards designed in collaboration with renowned artist, Dave Kinsey. Arbor’s new Bamboo Hybrid and Koa Blunt feature original works from this progressive artist who draws inspiration from studying urban landscape and the human condition. Kinsey’s portrayal of urban figures incorporates a range of mediums constructing multilayered and textured environments, easily likened to the complexities of contemporary life and the more urban elements of skating.
Rex Holloway is the cofounder, co-owner and art director of Rogue Status. Perhaps his greatest strength is within his mastery of tattoos. There is a simple reason why his time is always booked solid…it’s because he is one of the best tattoo artist out there. You can see his original works on the bodies of those who have graced his chair roaming the streets of Venice, California everyday. Holloway and the rest of the AWOL Rogue Squad are located just down the block from the Arbor headquarters helping form a natural partnership between complimentary brands. Halloway’s artistic tattoo style was the perfect fit to create the strongest possible graphics for the new Draft, Arbor’s rocker board revolution.
A street-specific rocker board for riders whose focus is park and urban jibs: rails, boxes, trees, wall rides, etc.; the Draft is the perfect platform for spinning, pressing, bonking, and buttering your way through life.
