Chad Muska x Element ‘Street Art’ Series 2

Chad Muska lends his hand in art and photography on his own series of skateboards. ON HIS OWN! Righteous. Element Skateboards are the canvas and they get down and dirty with Muska’s rendition of what street art means to him. Colorful and pretty, you can still read the “Love Kills” copy that takes a dark turn. But a dark turn for the good. I think?

A tie? Yup, this is a nice necktie we have on our hands here. Band of Outsiders are always pumping out the good stuff.
