Day 2 of the trade show, and Cliche was our first appointment. Their booth was by far one of the best at the show. The art is a creative from the classic graphics along the bottom. Taking imagery from each deck combined into one Last Supper image. It’s good to see a great homage piece to the days of when a skateboard graphic meant a bit more than just pumping out new decks constantly. The board will be out in Holiday, and comes in heat transfer and screen print for the collectors.
Date: July 14, 2014
Photographer: Mikah, Frank, Brian

Cliche’s keeping the momentum going with racy graphics, with this one that will come packed in a black bag to keep the kids eyes off, and continual asking to the shop employees to see it.
