365 : blank skateboard for the disposable show
If you’ve read my Crafty List of Things to Do, you may have wondered about #6 – Design a skateboard. It’s been something I’ve wanted to do since I lived in New York. I spent lots of time on Lafayette wandering into the skate shops and always thought it would be amazing to design a skateboard of my own one day. I can’t believe it, but somehow I met Joey of Freedom Fighter Skateboards and signed up to design a skateboard for a charity auction. The show is called the Disposable Show and will be held on May 8th at 55 McCaul. This year the show will be featuring Canadian talent, including Derrick Hodgson. Whoa. (!!!!!!!)
I just visited Derrick’s blog and he posted one of my photos of his work a couple weeks ago. Too much. Yes, I am a huge, huge fan.
Now I’m incredibly nervous.

Talk about the universe providing the perfect opportunity! I know it’s going to be fabulous and I can’t wait to see it!
Amazing! I saw last year’s show and it was pretty cool. I really liked seeing all the different submissions.
This sounds amazing Karyn. I’m very excited to see what you create.
I am definitely going to check out this show. I just sold my skateboard last summer. I wanted to save it for Ollie but I had some stickers on it that were not very child friendly. Maybe I’ll find a brand new deck for him at this show…very exciting!!!
