| RIVINGTON LUDLOW skateboards is a culmination of a lifelong passion for art, skateboarding, New York City and Natural History, all mixed together to create an amalgam of my life and passions, passions my 4-year-old son Varg Ragnar has grown up around. |
| In 1989, as a 14-year-old fan of music, art and skateboarding, I was mesmerized by the album cover for Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique. It became my all-time favourite album cover, and with NYC being my favourite city, and one of my biggest sources of inspiration, years later and after dozens of visits I realized that the intersection of RIVINGTON street and LUDLOW street on the Lower East Side was the location for the original album cover. |
| Both fish graphics are studies from the Natural History museums in Vienna and Paris. Both are done in a mixed media of ink and spray paint. The B&W top logo is a ink sketch from my sketchbook and a reflection of my style and most-used medium, ink. The portrait graphics are ballpoint pen and spraypaint studies |
| RIVINGTON LUDLOW skateboards Are designed in Oslo at our small studio and pressed and printed in Berlin at Quarter Distribution. |
