In retro style, this board features the Nintendo mascot in his Super Mario Brothers 3 days. All of the traditional sprites have been replaced with high resolution vectors. The Nintendo logo is a unique construct that really lets the "N" stand out.
My inspiration for these skateboard designs came from my nephew. I designed them with him in mind. I chose colors that he liked and things I thought he would think are cool. My intention was simple, yet interesting. I wanted the logo design to play a large role in the design.
