The last thing to come from the massive Tony Hawk Show x Quiksilver 40th anniversary jumpoff in Paris last weekend is this limited edition deck by Andre. Far doper than your average limited edition but still mass produced piece, these decks were hand painted by Andre on-site at the Grand Palais and were only available to people who were there. As long as Andre’s star continues to rise and Tony Hawk doesn’t murder anyone, or even if he does, these are gonna be worth some loot.
The Tony Hawk Show is set to ring off at the Grande Palais in Paris tomorrow night. It’s going to be epic and we’ll have lots of coverage for you. For now, here’s a peek at the mural Andre did for the event. He also painted mad other stuff around the venue and will be painting live tomorrow while Tony and friends skate Europe’s biggest halfpipe of all time. More looks at the mural after the jump.
Next month in Paris, his Hawkness is taking it up yet another notch with the Quiksilver Tony Hawk Show set to pop off at the Grand Palais, one of the city’s most epic venues, and one never before used for a private event. Tony and a cadre of shredders including Kelly Slater, Travis Rice, and Dane Reynolds will be joined by the artist Andre who will be doing live painting on what is being billed as Europe’s biggest skate ramp ever. There are only 5,000 seats available for this monumental event. Swiss magazine 7Sky happens to have two of them and will hook them up to the person that sends them “the most beautiful phrase you’ve ever heard of, or you’ve invented” before November 2. No pressure there right? To give it a shot go here. Or you can try to buy a ticket right here. More on this to come.
The iconic Street Machine Skateshop got together with artist André to collaborate on a complete skateboard. The deck and the wheels feature the art of André. The set is limited to 130 pieces and will be released on December 15th at Street Machine, Black Block and colette. Via LaMJC.
More images of the Street Machine x André Skateboard follow after the jump.
