The artwork of Des!

Des needs to get a lot of props for this, it is quite some talent imho

The deck is a BDS Out Of Towner I bought 2nd hand and rode but was getting a bit beat up. I asked Des if he'd paint it after seeing his Deckcrafters 'Gorilla' Deck he did for himself. He said he would and the idea to use Mellow Cat art was born. This is the first page of the first ever cartoon of Mellow Cat.

And me in the bottom cell, (note the Rad 11 rating which is from MAS trumps, shame he couldnt have made it a bit higher really :wink: )

RAD.E.KAL.MON indeed!

Tis a thing of beauty, you can't grind that !

I made my last two decks and always meant to do some graphics and something fancy with the grippy, but just ended up lacquering them and taping all over as usual.

Really nice. Too nice to be ridden and trashed to be honest. I'd stick it on a wall.
